Gun control opponents gather

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Gun ownership advocates from around the state say they oppose efforts by the federal government to strengthen gun control measures.

The Des Moines Register reports (http://dmreg.co/Sjt57Vhttp://dmreg.co/Sjt57V ) several hundred gathered in Des Moines for an hour-long "Guns Across America" rally Saturday.

Twenty-seven-year-old Jolynn Heal, of North Liberty, drove more than 100 miles with her husband and 10-year-old son to protest President Barack Obama's gun control measures.

She says limiting the amount of ammunition in gun magazines makes it difficult to defend against multiple intruders.

Twenty-three-year-old Chris Chaney, of Davenport, says he's disgusted by the use of children's deaths in a Connecticut school shooting last month to win political support for gun control legislation.

He says everybody has a right to defend themselves against evil people and tyranny.
