Iowa is considering HF 2502, a significant firearms preemption bill aimed at preventing local governments from enacting their own gun control measures. The bill, if signed by Governor Kim Reynolds, would protect current and future shooting ranges, allow firearm modifications, restrict local gun-free zones without screening and security, prevent restrictions on weapon and ammunition storage, and make judicial branch bans unenforceable. It also empowers those adversely affected by local ordinances to sue and recover damages, court costs, and attorney fees.
