The Catholic bishops of Iowa released a letter on gun legislation on Dec. 6, 2018. The bishops said, “We believe that weapons increasingly capable of inflicting great suffering in a short period of time are simply too accessible. The right to bear arms as found in our Constitution must be balanced against the safety and well-being of the populace as a whole.”

Specifically, the bishops ask legislators to consider the passage of a law providing for Gun Violence Restraining Orders, as well as to reject legislation that would restrict the state’s ability to regulate weapons in the future.
