Iowans approve right 'to keep and bear arms' in state's constitution
Iowa voters have adopted an amendment to the Iowa Constitution to add the right “to keep and bear arms," adding language that goes beyond the protections contained in the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment, according to unofficial results.

Iowa will become the fourth state with "strict scrutiny" language to protect gun rights in its state constitution, achieving a longtime goal of Republicans in the Iowa Legislature.

The votes in the "yes" column made up about 65% of the votes. The "no" votes to reject the amendment accounted for 35%.
