Iowa House backs gun control compromise with NRA accord
The Iowa House approved a pre emptive, state wide gun law by a 97 0 vote with NRA acquiescence. The bill keeps guns from young teens, requires safe storage or locks, and imposes penalties on parents for improper storage. The deal blocks localities from stricter local gun rules and follows years of effort to curb gun access amid rising child related incidents. The measure moves to the Senate and Governor Branstad for final action.
