With local reaction from state senators. I spoke with repubulican senators joni ernst and Chuck Grassleys team today. And both senators issued a statement they do not agree with tougher gun laws. Joni ernst replied by saying i am opposed to president obamas overreaching and unilateral actions; the American People should have a voice in this process instead of the president s top down approach that sidesteps congress and the people we were elected to represent. Senator Chuck Grassley echoed a similiar statement saying, quote history has taught us that simply focusing on limiting access to guns does not lead to drops in gun crimes. Maryland, illinois, california and even washington, d. C. Have some of the nations strictest gun laws yet they have some of the highest numbers of gun related crimes in the country. There are 6 gun shows planned in iowa just in this month alone. And many are worried that these new plans will affect them. Hear what retailers and buyers are saying in the story a
