The same goes for Kentucky and Wisconsin. Missouri doesn’t require a purchase or a carry permit.Iowa’s governor signed a measure Friday that allows residents to buy and carry firearms without a permit from the state. Gun rights groups applauded the move. Gun control groups opposed it.“Today I signed legislation that protects the 2nd Amendment rights of Iowa’s law-abiding citizens while still preventing the sale of firearms to criminals and other dangerous individuals,” Gov. Kim Reynolds said Friday. “This law also takes greater steps to inform law enforcement about an individual’s mental illness helping ensure firearms don't end up in the wrong hands. We will never be able to outlaw or prevent every single bad actor from getting a gun, but what we can do is ensure law-abiding citizens have full access to their constitutional rights while keeping Iowans safe.”Illinois state Rep. Tony McCombie, R-Savanna, is on the border and praised Iowa’s new law.“It removes a level of government bureaucracy that is not needed, regulations, because of the federal background check,” McCombie said. “A federal background check is still going to be needed from a licensed dealer.”...“Look at Chicago, we have plenty of restrictions in Chicago and it didn’t stop, what, 34 shootings this weekend and seven more killed,” McCombie said. “Adding more laws certainly isn’t going to stop the crime.”...

defaultdotxbe Posted April 6, 2021 at 02:49 PM Share Posted April 6, 2021 at 02:49 PM Isn't IL one of only 2 or 3 states in the entire country that require permits for all firearm purchases? Even when you add the handgun permits its still a significant minority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
