Grassley should return to farming

Most Iowans support background checks and want Congress to do something about escalating gun violence in this country. Yet Sen. Chuck Grassley ignores the wishes of his constituents and votes the way of the National Rifle Association, an organization that feeds on paranoia (“the feds are going to take your guns away”) and distortions of fact.
Grassley apparently no longer adheres to the principle of representative government. It's time for him to leave Congress and return to farming.
