 * Representative RRoark Republican, Virginia

Similar in thinking to Virginia Congressman, Republican [|Rob Wittman]**

Position - I believe that the laws on gun control are way too open. I think that guns only lead to death of someone or something or may cause injury. Guns are not safe and should only be handeled by professionals in the government to protect the citizens of the U.S. So i believe that the government needs to make a few more hard and limiting decisions on the issue of gun control.

Position - Most people in the U.S. think our overall health is bad and unnatural. I agree with this statement, I think our country has become too overwhelmed with greasy, fatty foods just because they taste good. Some people have forgotten what eating right and dieting even means. Most people in the U.S. are obese and need to start eating healthy and exercise. Obese people have serious problems that are killing them faster rather than a healthy eater. I think that it should become illegal to serve any kind of food that does not fit the healthy standards set by the Surgeon General.
 * Issue Number 2 - Health and Safety**

Position - I think that criminal's get off way to easily. If a criminal goes to court because they killed a person or multiple people they should not be sent to jail to wait to die in jail for the rest of their lives while the citizens of the United States pay for them to live there. The person should be sent to death immediately from lethal injection or an electric chair. Citizens do not need to pay for murderers to live. The murdrer just needs to get what they had coming to them, //death//.
 * Issue Number 3 - Criminal Justice**

The bill that I am sponsoring is about the restriction of guns. I believe that guns, in the hands of citizens, can only be harmful. When you hear about a robbery at a small convenient store or gas station you hear that one or more people came in pointing a //**gun**// at the cashier, not a knife but a gun. And in some cases that cashier ends up dead for standing up against that thief. Guns are so dangerous that I ask you why, with 95,000 deaths or major injuries per year on average, are guns still allowed to be used by citizens who do not even need to own a gun? I understand that guns are okay protection but that thought is what creates the most accidental deaths. Most accidental deaths happen when a parent thinks they need a gun to protect their family and a child gets a hold of it and all of the sudden buying that gun was the worst idea ever made in that parent's life. In 2000, 174 children in the United States died from unintentional gun related injuries. Unintentional injuries are usually caused when children play with guns or are hunting. With almost 100,000 deaths a year, I ask you, why are guns still allowed to be owned by citizens when so many deaths occur?
