Code of Iowa

The bond issue is sound leadership, and it's fiscally responsible.

Under Iowa Code, the Board of Supervisors is responsible for providing the sheriff and staff with the office space, equipment, and maintenance they need to do the job.

That's not a policy preference.

It's a basic function of county government.

And so I recognize that there was a lot of uncertainty regarding the categorical approach versus the modified categorical approach and the visibility and indivisibility even after the camp.

But there were signals in the statute, both the Iowa Code and then if the immigration attorney would have looked back to Section 1227 of Title VIII, for the definition of what a removable firearm offense is, that should have put that attorney on notice that, hey, there's an issue here to raise.

I should be raising it and not conceding it.

I guess I'm not an immigration attorney, but I would analogize it to, in a more familiar context for me, a defense attorney waiving a guideline issue regarding a defendant as a career offender and saying, I'll just try to make up for it in the 3553A analysis.

If you go to there, it says antique firearms are excluded.

So go to the Iowa firearm statute.

Go to Iowa Code 724.

It's pretty obvious that antique firearms are covered by Iowa law.

There's two severability clauses here.

Iowa Code 4.12 is a severability clause imposed on interpretation of Iowa statutes.

And then within SF-383 itself, Section 8 is a severability clause.

So we shouldn't be getting into a guessing game about effects on the market and things like that This is not a factual question, and the district court got that wrong.
