Former Police Captain thinks freedom is "drivel"

At least the bill restoring a bit of freedom to citizens is considered "drivel." I guess he doesn't understand that one of the functions of government is to assure the rights of citizens.

The word "optional" should never be included in any discussion about concealed weapons permits.

A restoration of Iowan's gun rights isn't important to this former officer of the law. There are more important things to worry about in the state. Like jobs, jobs, jobs.

The money quote:

As a Republican and former police officer I am appalled that members of the Republican Party would think up the drivel contained in HSB 219.

I'm appalled that this guy once carried a badge but glad he no longer does.
