Bill Sherman is a candidate for King County Prosecutor and he is a gun control advocate and also in favor of another assault weapons ban. Yet another scary politician.

Copied from his campaign website: http://billsherman.org/index.php?page=display&id=4

Reducing Gun Violence

Gun violence claims a life almost every other day in King County, and costs us almost half a billion dollars a year. It crosses all income and ethnic groups. And it is preventable – if we have a Prosecutor committed to keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and kids. Bill has on-the-ground experience keeping us safe from gun violence, having served as the assigned prosecutor for gun crimes in the Prosecutor’s Office Juvenile Division. As Prosecutor, Bill will crack down on gun crimes and end the cycle of illegal gun sales.

The Republicans ended the federal ban on sales of new assault weapons three years ago – but Bill will join Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowski and other leaders in our law enforcement community in the effort to make sure that criminals don't have access to military-style assault weapons.

We need to take steps right now to prevent the next Virginia Tech, Columbine, the next Jewish Federation shooting, the next Capitol Hill tragedy. Bill Sherman is committed to keeping us safe from gun violence.

Beware of voting for Bill Sherman!
 
Here's some more information...

I sent an information request to Bill Sherman's campaign via his website inquiring what Sherman intended to do to ensure citizens would be "safe from gun violence." His campaign manager's response, received by me today, appears below:

-------------------------------------------
"Hi _________,

Thanks for getting in touch. If elected, Bill plans to join with Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlokowski and the National Assocation of Police Chiefs to call for a renewal of the assault weapon ban that congress let expire in 2004. If congress doesn’t act, Bill will work for a state or county-level ban.

Thank you,

Dan Nolte
Campaign Manager
Bill Sherman for King County Prosecutor
(206) 234-8303"

The general election is November 6th -- don't forget to vote! It's fortunate that politicians like Bill Sherman disclose their anti-gun bias.
