“....Any and all restrictions of this right shall be subject to strict scrutiny.”

That’s a poison pill Iowa...lose it! Illannoy has pretty much the same rights expressed in it’s constitution. However, the final caveat states “...subject only to police powers...”! Oh that has worked out so well as exploited by filthy politicians mostly from Cook County/Chicago.

"Strict scrutiny" is technical jargon, meaning that any proposed restriction of the RKBA has the highest possible legal burden to cross. Among other things, the government has to prove that they have no other way to accomplish what they need to accomplish other than restricting that right.

First Amendment rights are also under "strict scrutiny" at the Federal level. It's a good thing.
