So this guy just did an end run around a lengthy process to strengthen our gun rights. A multi-year process to ensure our 2A rights through an Iowa constitutional amendment essentially got vetoed by Paul Pate. Paul "forgot" to do his elected duty and file the new law correctly, and now apparently the process can not be salvaged. Our recently celebrated constitutional amendments are now void.
