Per the article...

Iowa’s Republican-controlled legislature voted Wednesday to approve a resolution to amend the state constitution to declare that the “right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” The amendment requires any gun restrictions must be subject to “strict scrutiny,” the highest standard of judicial review.

Critics warned that would mean gun safety laws are more likely to be challenged and possibly overturned in court.


YEA...how 'bout that !!

Did anyone else notice the oxymoron in that statement?

My point being that by reading, understanding and abiding by the first sentence, the second sentence shouldn't be necessary.

In other words, if we followed the 2A to...the...letter, the term 'gun restrictions' wouldn't/shouldn't exist.
 
I know...I was just joking.


The word oxymoron is in itself an oxymoron

In Greek... oxy means "sharp" or "wise" ...while moros means "foolish"
