Senator Price presses stringent Iowa gun bill
Senator Price of Albia pushed his gun toting measure through the Iowa senate by a 27 to 19 vote. He defended the bill for two hours against most senators and rejected amendments. If enacted by the house it would impose up to five years imprisonment or a $1000 fine for carrying a weapon without a judge’s permit and regulate weapon sales. Price said criminals’ easy access keeps crime high, and the final form does not ban guns kept in the home.
