Click here: Pointing to an Islamic terrorist attack in California that killed 14 and wounded 21 and a mentally ill shooter in Sandy Hook, NJ that killed 20 in 2012 – all defenseless victims in gun-free zones – Iowa citizens and parents have urged the Governor and Legislature to eliminate gun-free zones in schools, saying Iowans should be allowed to defend themselves when faced with the potential of mass violence.
