In this work I investigate a two-band Hubbard model using the Gutzwiller wave function. The tight-binding part of the model was constructed to have a gapless spin-density wave state which leads to Dirac points in the bandstructure, a common feature of many iron-pnictide compounds. For quarter, half and three-quarter fillings I show that Hund's rule coupling has a large impact on the metal-insulator transition in the paramagnetic phase. For the half-filled model in the antiferromagnetic phase, the magnetism evolves in a Stoner-like behavior and the size of the ordered moment is mainly determined by the Hubbard interaction. As Hund's coupling plays a minor role in this state, the model does not describe Hund's metal which is in contrast to more realistic models for iron-pnictide compounds.
