A campaign emphasizing the need to improve safety and aesthetics in Washington, D.C. has gained traction, with multiple calls to "Make D.C. Safe Again" appearing across various social media platforms. The initiative is supported by several political figures and groups advocating for enhanced security measures in the nation's capital. Among the proposals are repealing the D.C. Home Rule, passing the BOWSER Act, and federalizing D.C. governance to address issues such as violent crime and sexual assault. Advocates argue that true leadership involves removing violent offenders and providing returning citizens with pathways to reintegration, aiming to create safer and smarter streets. Critics of current policies highlight concerns over permit-less gun possession by felons and criminals in D.C., suggesting that existing measures may be insufficient to ensure public safety. The White House has also referenced this movement in its communications, indicating a focus on nighttime safety operations in the city.
Ah yes, let's just let all the felons, criminals, and gangbangers in DC keep their permit-less guns because it's dangerous in DC. How brilliant. https://t.co/6WENpmlZjT
True leadership means making our streets safer and smarter. Remove violent offenders, then give returning citizens a real path forward. That’s how we fix what’s broken. @GlennJacobsTN #communitysafety #saferstreets #localgovernment #communityfirst #violenceprevention https://t.co/0B6VB8DJUI
