The right to bear arms is a right given by God

Q: What new laws, if any, do you believe Iowa should pass regarding guns?

A: Sherman: Did not answer.

Sherman's website says he thinks the right to bear arms is a right given by God, not government, but it is the government's job to protect that right.
