DES MOINES, Iowa — After a heated debate Wednesday night, the Iowa Senate
passed a resolution to add the “right to bear arms” to Iowa’s
constitution.

More action must be taken by lawmakers before the measure can be placed on
the ballot and voted on by Iowans.

For constitutional amendments to be added they must be approved twice in
both chambers. The Iowa House passed it Monday night. Before Iowans can
vote, lawmakers must pass it again in both chambers in either the 2019 or
2020 legislative session.

The amendment the Iowa Senate voted on says, “The right of the people to
keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The sovereign state of Iowa
affirms and recognizes this right to be a fundamental individual right.
Any and all restrictions of this right shall be subject to strict
scrutiny.”

Iowa Republicans also attempted to add gun protections into the
constitution back in 2012 and failed.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.

This sounds like a good explicit protection, however...

"Any and all restrictions of this right shall be subject to strict
scrutiny.”
Someone needs to help me understand how a right can be restricted, i.e.
by what authority.

The theory of rights is that the right (i.e. authority to exercise a
power) extends up to the point that it substantially affects the free
exercise of the rights of another, and restriction (on a right) is a
limit more than that.

Anyone have an example of a possible restriction that we could examine
in detail?
