Republicans this week revived a proposal that would allow Iowans to carry weapons in public without permission from a sheriff, without background checks and without training requirements. The legislation, House Study bill 219, is known as “Alaska carry,” which is law in Alaska, Arizona, Vermont and Wyoming.
Republican Jeff Kaufmann joked that the law was the "give-a-handgun-to-a-schizophrenic bill".
No background checks and no training requirements? Honestly, why don't they just pass a law stating we can drive 120 while downing a bottle of Jack Daniels? We'd be just as safe.
Of course, we're missing the psychology here; a law about being able to carry weapons in public, with Johnny law unable to say squat about it, is all about pissants projecting personal power to make up for a four-inch pecker.
