I stand up for those who walked out

Good for the Iowa House Democratic Caucus for walking out on the proposed gun amendment to the Iowa Constitution. It is unthinkable for a constitutional amendment that prohibits mandatory licensing and registration of guns in an age when every month it seems that there is a report of another mass killing.
Rep. Matt Windschitl, R-Missouri Valley, floor manager of this bill, says that Iowans want this to happen. Back up, Rep. Windschitl. You're not speaking for this Iowan.
May this extremist legislation be stopped in the Senate.
