The text of the bill has completely changed. It is much more simple, BUT they removed all references to all other NFA regulated items. It is now ONLY a suppressor bill. I copied the text of the bill below.
Even though it is not as good as it's previous version, it's still a big improvement. If you live in Iowa, please contact your reps. You can find them with
