A proposal to add a gun rights amendment to the state constitution is retracing its path through the Iowa legislature. The proposal has been approved twice before, but a paperwork error in the secretary of state’s office is forcing Republican legislators to pass it a third time before it can be presented to voters in 2022. Richard Rogers of the Iowa Firearms Coalition says the amendment is needed because opponents of gun rights are trying to — in his words “weaponize” the FEDERAL courts.

Critics say the proposed amendment goes further than the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
