Killers aren’t stopped by these policies
“After a shooting spree,” author William Burroughs once said, “they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn’t do it.”
There are a lot of problems with this approach, but one of the most significant is this one: It doesn’t work. One of the interesting characteristics of mass shootings is that they generally occur in places where firearms are banned: malls, schools, etc. That was the finding of a famous 1999 study by John Lott of the University of Maryland and William Landes of the University of Chicago, and it appears to have been borne out by experience since then as well.

Readers should go to the below site to find a table explaining State of Iowa Base Pay Compared to Market Base Pay Details. In other words what the over paid state workers get while preforming the same jobs private sector workers do.
There’s a workforce advisor position which the state pays 50% more than does the private sector while most of the 47 jobs the state workers are grossly overpaid compared to the private sector person doing the same job. There’s also one job getting 55% and another 46%; so readers should basically read the entire article by the Public Interest Institute.

No wonder our taxes are grossly high and totally unnecessary just so state employees can live good life off the backs of Iowa’s private employees.
