Quote:
The current law has no restrictions on children using long guns or shotguns under their parents’ instruction but prohibits them from using handguns.
State Rep. Jake Highfill (R) said the new bill, which passed 62-36, “brings the code in line with long guns and shotguns” by allowing children to also use handguns under direct supervision from a parent or legal guardian.

I'm admittedly completely confused by gun culture in general, but I can understand why a parent would be okay with their minor child having a rifle to go hunting together and things of that nature, but why in the hell does a minor need to possess a damn handgun??
I'm sure Iowa has no other more important legislation they could be passing right now.
