Voters in Iowa Tuesday overwhelmingly voted to adopt a constitutional amendment allowing people to keep and bear firearms. The final vote was 745,118 in favor to 398,881 against. This will make Iowa the 45th state to include the right to keep and bear firearms in its state constitution.
The amendment as ratified reads:
Right to keep and bear arms. Sec. 1A. 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.
The amendment ratifies the US Constitution’s Second Amendment into the state constitution with the added protection of the state’s highest judicial review. Any future laws that infringe the right will have to withstand the highest judicial scrutiny to prevail.

We had almost a fairy tale night here in Iowa. We are now as red as Oklahoma.
But this is the cherry on top. Never in my lifetime did I think this would happen.
