Iowa, Oregon Second Amendment Rights Ballot Initiatives Get Vote :: 11/07/2022

Voting in the 2022 midterm elections is well underway. NSSF urges all voters to make it to their polling location and #GUNVOTE® so they don’t risk their rights.

The Second Amendment implications are far-reaching in the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, governors’ mansions and state legislative bodies. Voters in Iowa and Oregon will cast votes on important ballot initiatives and decide whether their states will further enshrine the right to keep and bear arms, or instead further restrict those rights.

Iowa’s ‘Freedom Amendment’

Currently there are 44 states that include specific guarantees for residents to keep and bear arms within their respective state constitutions. Six states do not: California, Minnesota, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Iowa. That could change Tuesday night if Hawkeye State voters approve Public Measure #1.
