What is the requirement for firearms dealers in Iowa regarding background checks?

  1. Background checks are not required

  2. Background checks are required for all sales

  3. Background checks are required only at gun shows

  4. Background checks are required for selling handguns only

The correct answer is: Background checks are required for all sales

In Iowa, the law requires all firearms dealers to conduct background checks on all sales, regardless of where the sale takes place (such as at a gun show or in a store) or what type of firearm is being sold (handguns, rifles, shotguns, etc.). Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest that background checks are not required in certain situations or for certain types of firearms, which is not true in Iowa.
