I would urge all voters to look at the records of the candidates and their character, honesty, and integrity, as well as their vision for education and our future, which is our children. They should try to make an informed but independent decision and not rely on the media or someone else's judgment on who could best lead Washington. By the way, that goes for the rest of the population too. I recently unveiled the Parents Bill of Rights, which is a blueprint for protecting our children and preparing them for the future. Handguns have been outlawed in DC for many years but crimes keep being committed by people with guns.
Handguns are too plentiful in our society.
We should enforce our gun laws and mete out stiff punishment for their violation. Rather than having dragnets for seatbelt violations, we should use such techniques to look for guns and drugs. We need to beef up our anti-gun task force and request additional assistance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to go into areas of the city where we know there is drug and weapons activity. We also should use education as a tool against guns and violence. We must start to teach our children at an early age that guns and violence are wrong and will not be tolerated by society.
