Forgive me for getting right to the point, but have you renewed your membership in Iowa Gun Owners for 2022 yet?
The General Assembly will be reconvening in Des Moines in just a few weeks — which means our fight to pass the Second Amendment Preservation Act is about to hit high gear — but as of a few days ago, we still hadn’t received your membership renewal form!
If you’ve already renewed your membership for 2022 online or through the mail and our records just haven’t had time to catch up — then I certainly apologize for my mistake.
But if you’ve not had time to renew your membership in Iowa Gun Owners for 2022, I hope you’ll complete your renewal form RIGHT AWAY.

2021 has been a monumentally important year in our battle to defend the Second Amendment both here in Des Moines and in Washington, D.C. But with state and national elections taking place next year, 2022 is going to be nothing short of explosive!
At the state level, Iowa Gun Owners will be making a major push to advance the Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA) in Des Moines and we’ve already secured bill sponsors in the House and Senate.
You see, while gun owners have blocked Biden’s agenda in the Senate, he has already issued multiple Executive Orders that would make you a criminal for owning a pistol brace and require you to register any firearms made from 80% lower receivers!
These orders are being reviewed right now by the ATF and are likely to take effect in just a few weeks. But Biden is counting on Iowa cops to enforce these orders, as most federal laws and Executive Orders are enforced by state and local authorities.
But if we pass SAPA legislation in Des Moines, Iowa cops would be required to enforce Iowa law when it comes to firearms, ammo, and accessories -– meaning that Biden’s unconstitutional and tyrannical Executive Orders would go largely unenforced here in Iowa!
Think that sounds too good to be true? It is not.
The Constitution and the Supreme Court have always upheld the states’ right to refuse to enforce federal dictates that they disagree with and that run contrary to state laws.
This is what the left did to President Trump when he tried to deport violent, illegal aliens. By offering those sickos sanctuary status and refusing to allow their law enforcement agencies to aid the federal government, liberal states nullified Trump’s orders.
Iowa can do the same thing by refusing to enforce any part of Biden’s war against the Second Amendment.
In fact, this is already happening in Missouri, after the Missouri Firearms Coalition passed SAPA legislation into law in June! The day the law took effect, police departments across the state told their officers that they were only allowed to enforce Missouri laws when it comes to firearms and ammunition!
And even better, when Biden’s Department of Injustice tried to overturn SAPA law in Circuit Court, the judge all but laughed them out of the courtroom, reminding the DOJ that the states are sovereign and have an absolute right to ignore federal law they disagree with!
Of course, to be effective, SAPA law needs to have teeth, otherwise anti-gun departments (think Des Moines and Iowa City) would simply ignore SAPA and order their officers to enforce Biden’s Executive Orders whenever they are finalized.
That’s why Iowa Gun Owners’ SAPA legislation allows individual gun owners to sue law enforcement agencies that violate SAPA law in civil court without having to wait on the Attorney General or the Governor to intervene.
And with $50,000 fines serving as SAPA’s ‘teeth,’ you can bet that once we pass SAPA legislation into law, even the most radically ‘woke’ department heads here in Iowa will stand down!
SAPA is how we stop Joe Biden’s unconstitutional attacks on our gun rights! But for SAPA to become effective, the legislature first needs to pass the bill. Iowa Gun Owners will be doing everything we can to make that happen in 2022. And we need your help to do it!

But it’s also vital that gun owners across the state continue to FLOOD Senators Grassley and Ernst — along with your Congressman — with calls and emails in opposition to the gun control agenda being pushed in Washington, D.C.
Here’s where things stand right now in Congress.
Biden’s mission to ban our AR-15’s (and hundreds of other semi-automatic rifles and shotguns (S. 736/H.R. 1808) continues to quietly rack up cosponsors and currently has the support of over 240 members of the House and Senate!
This legislation has just one purpose: to disarm the American people and leave us unable to defend ourselves from criminals or from tyrants. Both bills are in the Judiciary Committee.
But we can’t forget about H.R. 8, either. This legislation has the support of a growing number of backstabbing RINO Republicans and the radical left, has already passed the House and is currently awaiting action in the United States Senate.
H.R. 8 (and the Senate companion bill S. 529) would outlaw the private sale of firearms in America and give the government what they have always wanted: a digital list of virtually every gun owner in the country! And we all know why they want that list!
Both bills have hit a roadblock in the Senate, for now. Chuck Schumer needs 60 votes to pass these bills and he doesn’t have that number yet. But if, God forbid, we have a mass shooting incident in America next year, we could easily see a dozen RINOs cross over and give Schumer the votes he needs to send these bills to Biden’s desk.
Perhaps the most dangerous bill of all is H.R. 2377, the ‘Red Flag Gun Seizure’ legislation that is making rapid strides in D.C. right now. In fact, this legislation was voted through the House Judiciary Committee just two weeks ago!
‘Red Flag Gun Seizure’ laws are designed to allow almost anyone who doesn’t like you (think ex-spouse or a hyper-liberal coworker) to report that you are ‘dangerous’ and ask a judge to confiscate your firearms BEFORE you have been arrested or convicted of a crime.
Even worse, every version of ‘Red Flag’ legislation contains an ex-parte provision which means that the court hearing to determine whether or not you will lose your guns happens IN TOTAL SECRET!
This means that in most cases, the first time you’ll learn that you’ve been ‘red flagged’ is when a SWAT TEAM bursts through your door at 3:00am to seize every firearm you own.
And since the ‘evidence’ that is often allowed in these sham hearings is literally ‘the recent purchase or acquisition of a firearm or ammo’ — tens of millions of gun owners could be ‘legally’ disarmed if H.R. 2377 or S. 292 passes into law!
What makes ‘Red Flag’ legislation very dangerous is the fact that backstabbing RINO Republicans are supporting it in droves.
In the Senate alone, Lindsey Graham (R-SC,) Rick Scott (R-FL,) Thom Tillis (R-NC,) Rob Portman (R-OH,) and Todd Young (R-IN) have already come out in support of ‘Red Flag’ legislation. And Little Marco Rubio (R-FL) is the LEAD SPONSOR OF THE SENATE BILL!
And in the House, when H.R. 4350 came up for a vote last month which would force ‘Red Flag’ laws onto the brave men and women in the United States Military, over 100 Republicans voted for it!
Shockingly, this list included Iowa Congressman Randy Feenstra as well as Congresswomen Ashley Hinson and Mariannette Miller-Meeks.
It’s clear that Iowa Gun Owners needs to maintain a full court press on Senators Grassley and Ernst, to make sure that we don’t see any more defections on ‘Red Flag Gun Seizure’ legislation.

As you can see, Iowa Gun Owners is leading the fight at the state and federal levels, and that’s why I am counting on your continued support in 2022.
We’ve stopped Biden and Pelosi so far this year. But that doesn’t mean that the Left is giving up. On the contrary, these America-hating ghouls know that 2022 is their last chance to pass their agenda while they control both chambers of Congress.
Make no mistake, these people are pure Marxists who want to disarm the American people so there’s nothing standing between them and their goal of turning this country into a socialist hellhole — even if it costs them their majorities in November!
The radical Left is ‘all in’ for gun control in 2022.
I know that’s a lot. But there is no redo on freedom. And if we lose our right to keep and bear arms, our country is over and the freest nation in human history will have been conquered from within.
I need you to stand with us NOW!

The 2022 legislative session is just around the corner, and Iowa Gun Owners is preparing a major program to advance the Second Amendment Preservation Act, which would shut down Biden’s war on gun owners here in Iowa.
But at the same time, we MUST keep the pressure on Iowa’s Congressional delegation to make sure that they oppose every single gun control bill being pushed in Congress right now, especially ‘Red Flag Gun Seizure’ legislation.
So please be as generous as you can when you renew and remember that all renewals of $75 or higher come with a free T-Shirt and decal from Iowa Gun Owners!
