 * '''Gun control:''' Randall opposes restrictions on gun ownership by adults because restrictions on gun ownership constitute restricting an individual's basic human right to self-defense.
-* '''Illegal drugs:''' Randall supports the decriminalization of marijuana and other illegal drugs, citing the restrictions on personal freedoms as a result of the [[War on Drugs]]. In a free society, the concept of self-ownership must be recognized and protected by government. Self-ownership includes adults enjoying the right to decide what they do to their own bodies. While drug abuse and addiction are serious personal problems, incarceration is not an effective treatment.

 * '''Iraq War:''' Randall supports a strong national defense. But opposes aggression against nations that have not attacked the U.S. - as was the case with Iraq. Therefore, Randall supports a rapid withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq, while providing for repair to the infrastructure damaged by U.S. actions.
