Same here in Iowa as some other states:
New laws have sheriffs handing out licenses like candy - actually, they can't deny anymore without some serious documentation. Meaning, in the past, it was up to their discretion, if they knew the guy was a known hot-head, they could deny. Not anymore.
Gun shows - I've seen several types of guns (never semi-A's) sold at gun shows by private individuals, these type of sales require zero background check. ZERO. NONE.
It really came home to me the time, about a year ago, I'm in the "5th Street Pub" here in Des Moines, and a revolver falls out of an old guy's pocket, and lands on the floor, hitting the bar stool hardware on the way down. IMO, that's just fucking nuts.
