Seems reasonable to me
Downey argued that legislators, in passing in 2010 a law on gun permits, didnt allow the Iowa Department of Public Safety to ask questions beyond the basic ones on identity.
But the state argued the legislation established just the floor of basic questions that had to be asked on the form, allowing authorities to seek more information.
The justices, after dissecting the less-than-clear language of the law, sided with Downey that it allows the Public Safety Department to only ask the basics.
I mean, the legislature didn’t pass a law instructing them to ask a bunch of questions to get a gun permit.
