Videos tagged with Iowa Constitution

This video discusses a ballot measure in Iowa that aims to enshrine the right to keep and bear arms into the state constitution. It highlights that Iowa is one of six states lacking such constitutional protections. The proposed amendment would define this right as fundamental and subject any restraints to strict scrutiny, a legal standard that is difficult for governments to meet. The speaker contrasts this with states like California and New York, which have historically infringed on gun rights due to the absence of state-level constitutional protections.
