(Des Moines, Iowa) – Student leaders with March for Our Lives Iowa organized a protest in the Iowa Capitol in response to last week’s school shooting in Perry. The group is calling for mandatory reporting of lost and missing firearms and allowing court orders to remove guns from people who are a threat to themselves or others. Trey Jackson of March for Our Lives Iowa read from a letter the group sent Governor Reynolds — it says “Iowans have had enough of prayers” and it’s time meaningful change. The 17-year-old student who killed a sixth grader and wounded seven others in Perry last week brought two guns into his high school.
