Can Iowans confirm Iowa Is Great? Also interesting that the bottom 10 states are ones that voted Trump in the last election. Perhaps they figured he would help bring more prosperity to them.

But, you know, you can just call them racists and morons instead. That's the Liberal thing to do, of course.
- bb88 9y agoWhat's interesting is that NAFTA is the number one reason Iowa's farmers are doing so well right now. Mexico buys almost all of it's corn from the US [1] and Iowa is a top if not the top producer of corn in america. So it shocked me that Iowans voted for Trump when he agreed to renegotiate NAFTA. It seems like NAFTA was easy to pick on until people realized that it really is good for Iowa.

Recently passed Stand Your Ground. https://www.nraila.org/articles/20170630/iowa-critical-self-defense-law-takes-effect-july-1 https://www.nraila.org/articles/20170630/iowa-critical-self-... Adding the 2nd Amendment to the state constitution passed a subcommittee on Jan 26th. https://www.nraila.org/articles/20180126/iowa-right-to-keep-and-bear-arms-constitutional-amendment-passes-subcommittee https://www.nraila.org/articles/20180126/iowa-right-to-keep-... Working on Courthouse Carry and School Parking Lot Carry. Permitless Carry got recently scrapped, but was heavily favored to pass, until someone cast a big shadow by slaughtered a bunch of high school kids. Go figure... Also, proposed May issue permits, Bump stock bans, semi-auto bans, carry restrictions, and private transfer bans have all been defeated. http://iowafc.org/news/ http://iowafc.org/news/ EDIT: forgot the /s
