I don't think passing legislation to allow every citizen to consider themselves part of the militia would fly in Iowa.

I agree.... Iowa's Constitution, Article VI, is so sexist and ageist to restrict the militia to certain folks...
What about women and the elderly? Don't they have rights?
Probably some old white guys, related to General Grant, passed this crazy stuff... /sarcasm
To,whit..." The militia of this state shall be composed of all able-bodied male citizens, between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years, except such as are or may hereafter be exempt by the laws of the United States, or of this state, and shall be armed, equipped, and trained, as the general assembly may provide by law."
