Second Amendment Preservation Act introduced in Iowa Senate<\/a><\/p>\n

A bill in the state senate would establish a $50,000 fine for an Iowa city and law enforcement agency where an officer enforces federal gun regulations that are stricter than the state\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The bill is part of a campaign that has prompted county supervisors to designate 33 Iowa counties as \u201cSecond Amendment Sanctuaries\u201d where federal gun laws wouldn\u2019t be enforced by local officials if the Biden Administration or congress were to enact tougher regulations. Senator Zach Nunn of Bondurant, a Republican congressional candidate in Iowa\u2019s third district, is the sponsor of the so-called Second Amendment Preservation Act.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to protect our law enforcement officers on the front line who are serving the community, but not deputize them as agents of a department or agency to go in and infringe upon an Iowan\u2019s Second Amendment constitutional rights,\u201d Nunn said yesterday during a subcommittee hearing on the bill.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nunn indicated the legislation needs some changes before it\u2019s considered by a full Senate committee. Sydney Gangestad, a lobbyist for \u201cEverytown for Gun Safety\u201d \u2014 a national group that supports gun control measures, said the bill may penalize local police and sheriffs departments that work with federal authorities on gun-related investigations. \u201cWe believe this would have a chilling effect and that is a grave concern to us,\u201d Gangestad said.<\/p>\n

A lobbyist for the Iowa County Attorneys Association said the proposal could make it difficult for state and local agencies to enforce federal laws that forbid convicted domestic abusers from having guns.<\/p>\n

A similar bill has been passed in Missouri and nearly 60 Missouri police chiefs filed a lawsuit last week, seeking changes to clarify what is and isn\u2019t permitted. One chief said Missouri\u2019s law appears in certain circumstances to prevent police from checking serial numbers to see if a gun is stolen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
