Gun Seizures Called for by Legislator in Iowa
Quote:
I have never lived in Iowa but found this noteworthy. This legislator Dan Muhlbauer is apparently a well known anti-gun law maker. Does anyone think his ideas will get in traction in Iowa?

Funny... I can't recall the last time I circulated my guns around and they got in the wrong hands. Can anyone relate?

Some Iowans need to remind this politician that the 2nd amendment isn't about hunting. It's about keeping politicians in check.

Could be he already knows this and thus provides his reasoning for the statement?

Got family in Iowa and unfortunately most are Democrat but I guarantee you that they are not fans of this clown. Try to take their shotguns or fishing poles from them and you will see some mighty irate Bohunks.

Most of my mom's side of the family in Iowa lives in his district. I have no idea how they feel about the guy, but I know he didn't make many friends trying to take away their fancy expensive camo print semi-auto shotgun.

Right now, I'm living in SE Iowa. We used to have a quaint and charming tradition for politicians like this, involving their intimate acquaintance with tar, feathers, and a rail. It's what made the good ol' days good.

Gary, we used to have the same tradition here in Virginia. There sure are a good many who should be reintroduced to tradition. From what I understand somewhere around 1900 the entire city council for one Virginia city was run out of town on a rail as well as tarred and feathered. The current city council seems to have forgotten the past.

Wow that quote sounds like it was written by a 9 year old. It literrally just repeats the same sentence over and over. "There are too many guns"
A real linguist this one. |

Well thankfully the others support guns, ones family owns a gun shop I use in Mo. Valley.
Crazy people are everywhere. I gotta say if a gun ban makes a person all warm and fuzzy, that person is out of touch with reality cause the bad guys wont be giving theirs up.... |

That isn't going to get any traction.....
However, the anti gun people are drooling because they think some of their anti gun dreams might actually take root. I think they are all throwing everything they can against wall just hoping that some of it sticks.

I sent him an email, this was his reply.
Thanks for your letter. * The news article that was printed was not a true representation of how I feel.* There was very little said about gun control in the interview.* There are so many things that go into the Connecticut incident. * Mental Health being a huge part of, School Policies, Society and Guns.* The interview was about what could be done to prevent further shootings.* It was never about gun control, it was about protecting children in school. * I was asked, IF you could* stop this from happening would you be willing to take away guns?* My answer was, We are talking about 5 and 6 year olds here, IF you could stop all violence by doing that sure, BUT that will never happen, so we need to focus on mental health, school policies, etc.* Only part of my statement was used!* The article was very slanted and does not represent my feelings * Sincerely, Dan Muhlbauer State Representative Statehouse Des Moines, IA 50319 Sent from my PB99400 using Tapatalk 2 |

I live in Iowa. I don't know Dan Muhlbauer, but I doubt that he will gain much support. A lot of us Iowans like them big guns!

sadly Iowa has no 2A equivalent in its constitution so we have to tread lightly but we have been pretty lucky we got shall issue ccw here not that long ago.

This letter certainly doesn't agree with the "quotes" attributed to him in the original story. Could he be backing way off in response to public feedback? |

Hmmmm.... pheasant hunting and skeet shooting with a .410? That takes a fair bit of skill.
