The state of Iowa has passed a bill to let children of all ages handle handguns, with parental supervision.
The “Youth Safety & Parental Rights Act” was one of five pro-Second Amendment bills that passed through the House on Tuesday, February 23.
The bill would allow a child of any age to shoot a pistol or revolver with their parent or guardian. Current law allows children 14 and older to do so.
Republican Rep. Jake Highfill said the bill “is one of the best bills we’ve done to advance Second Amendment rights of Iowans.”
“It returns the power back to where it fully belongs,” he said. “Back in the hands of parents to make those decisions they are entitled to do instead of the government.”
Peep this creepy video of the dark eyed “Kansas shooter” –Cedric Ford dancing around to Drake’s song, “Revenge” just 4 days before going on a shooting rampage killing 3 people in Hesston, Kansas.
According to his girlfriend, the man who shot 16 people (and killed 3) suffered from mental illness and desperately needed professional help and meds for his condition.
Investigators believe that Ford went on the deadly shooting spree after being served a protective order (from abuse) for beating up his girlfriend just days prior.
Ford was “a little upset” but “didn’t display anything … outrageous” when a sheriff’s deputy served him the order at 3:30 p.m. (4:30 p.m. ET) Thursday at his workplace, Excel Industries in Hesston, Kansas.
Then came a call to police, around 5 p.m., that a man driving his two children had been shot in the shoulder in nearby Newton. Another call came in a short time later about someone who’d been driven off the road into a ditch, been shot, and had his or her car stolen, according to Walton.
While authorities responded at these sites — having no idea where the shooter was heading next — Ford went to Excel, the lawn care equipment manufacturer about 6 miles from the first shooting scene.
The 38-year-old started firing in the parking lot, then kept it up as he went inside.
“He was randomly shooting people,” the Harvey County sheriff said. “… I’m not aware he said a thing.”
The carnage ended thanks to a lone Hesston police officer who went inside, engaged Ford in gunfire and killed him around 5:24 p.m., according to Walton.
“There was probably 2 or 300 more people in that building while this was going on,” the sheriff said. “This man was not going to stop shooting.
“The only reason he stopped shooting was because that officer stopped (him).”

Just goes to show that you never know who you’re standing next to and what may be going on inside their heads –or how far they are from snapping! SMH!
A man in an armed robbery at an Ohio convenience store told the clerk, “I’m just messing with you,” after the clerk told him to get out of the store.
The man, armed with a knife, was wearing a black mask over his face when he walked up to the clerk. The clerk can be heard asking the robber several times if he is kidding, and the robber responds, “No.” A moment later, the robber starts laughing, pulls off his face mask and says, “I’m just messing with you.”
The clerk yells at the robber to get out. He apologizes, and walks out.
The clerk said she recognized the robber by his eyeglasses and voice.
Wow! 😐 This guy must be the friendliest robber in crime land! For some, crime really DOESN’T pay!
Do you think this silly robber was really just “messing” around or was this really a horribly failed robbery attempt?
I think it’s important to notate that the store clerk was a female. Just FYI.
