Des Moines, Iowa - The Iowa Legislative Session for 2015 has ended. After a very active session with over twenty gun bills proposed, including the "Firearms Act of 2015", the Iowa House and Senate could not concur on gun legislation to remove background checks on private gun sales and allow children under fourteen to handle hand guns. The Senate did pass a bill allowing suppressors but the House rejected that bill as not going far enough.
"The Iowa Legislative Session 2015 has ended. We can claim a victory. What seemed like an inevitable bad "Omnibus Gun Bill" was prevented because thousands of Iowans did not want to lose background checks and allow children to handle hand guns! Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible." Rev. Cheryl R. Thomas. Executive Director of Iowans for Gun Safety
