The f--kstickery continues in the Iowa House

The fuckstickery continues in the Iowa House;

“I find it very disconcerting that the president would try and reinstate the assault weapons ban and reduce magazine capacity to only 10 rounds,” said Rep. Matt Windschitl, R-Missouri Valley. “I think that is an assault on the Second Amendment, and I think all it does is further limits Americans’ Second Amendment rights and their ability to defend themselves against violent crime and criminals.”


Windschitl, who serves as an assistant majority leader in the House, said some House members are working on their own legislation as well.

One such member is Tom Shaw, R-Laurens.

“It basically says the federal government cannot come in and take our firearms. We will stop them,” Shaw said. “An Iowa citizen would not have to comply with registration or any type of confiscation, so it’s just a matter of the state standing up for their citizens.”


God, I hope the Democrats take back the House and the Governor's office in 2014.

Sounds just like what Michigan is trying to do. It's called NULLIFICATION! Look for similar efforts in other states. Is this a Koch operation or an NRA sponsored initiative?

The GOP has one idea and it is shared with all the puppet........FEAR, HATE, TERROR

When the public has to be mature enough to NOT vote for people are STUPID PUPPETS.

I am so glad California has this under control with REGULATIONS. Anybody can own an assault gun in California. This person MUST comply with the requirements and be of sane mind. So far there has NOT been any killings like back east....BIZARRE
