BREAKING NEWS!! Democrats Flee Iowa Capitol and Hide Over Crucial 2nd Amendment Votes

Taking a page out of the Wisconsin Democrats’ handbook, Iowa Democrat lawmakers fled the Iowa Capitol for six hours today in order to avoid voting on two crucial 2nd Amendment Rights bills.

According to an email received from Tom Shaw (R-District 8):

Today, in the Iowa House, we were prepared to debate two Second Amendment bills. The first was an amendment to Iowa’s Constitution which clearly states that Iowans have the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.  The second bill, commonly known as “Stand Your Ground”, upholds Iowa’s Constitution and your right to defend your life without having to retreat.

Unfortunately several hours ago, the entire Democrat Caucus of the Iowa House left the Capitol and went to an undisclosed location.

Clearly, the Iowa Democrats have learned from their Wisconsin neighbors: If you don’t feel like doing your job, then run away and hide.

Around 4:40pm, the Democrats returned to the Capitol and held a press conference to make the claim that they didn’t run away from the vote, but rather that they were “holding an off-campus caucus to work through their position on the gun legislation.”  Considering the Democrats’ record on gun legislation (pretty much entirely anti-gun), it is a wonder that they required a “caucus meeting” in order to confirm that they all are still on the anti-gun page.  Looks like a smokescreen to hide their real intent: avoid voting on the bills.

The anti-gun sentiment is alive and well in all areas in American government, even in the heartland where most people still believe that the 2nd Amendment means exactly as it says:  The Right to Bear Arms.

The Iowa House is currently debating the two contested bills; please call your representative and tell him/her to stand strong against the Democrats and to help keep your 2nd Amendment Rights as the Founders intended.

As Aaron Dorr, Executive Director of Iowa Gun Owners, said in a recent email:

Take a moment to call and email your Representatives again – right away – and demand that they take action today on your gun rights.
