I'd be interested in your thoughts on the intervening 79 posts.

Sensible meaning getting rid of a bunch of the crap that is in current legislation. While I would love to get rid of more, it's not quite feasible at this time.
One thing that I hate, especially in MD is that I have to get a background check every time I purchase a gun and it's a pain in the ass to get a carry permit.
I'm ok with the concept of getting a one permit that has the background check, but then I can use that to purchase any gun I want from any state and also carry in any state.
That gets me more rights than I currently have and can improve background checks. Now, I don't believe that background checks will really solve anything - especially crime because they get them illegally anyways.
We have to get a background check with every purchase - the waiting period can be ridiculous - my last handgun I waited over 6 months. I want to be able to walk into any store and walk out with whatever I want. If that means a license/permit then I am ok with that. It's better than what we have.
I also have to say "sensible regulations" because in order to win I have to appeal to Democrats - it's not possible to win the 2nd congressional as a Republican. I get 4 surveys from anti-gun for every pro-gun and I opt to ignore them. I avoid talking about the 2nd at events that are primarily democrat - anti-gun.
That's just how things work - if I post that I want to get rid of all gun regulations I will get at most 20% of the vote.

In regards to "Pro-Obamacare" - have to say that to get Democrats to vote for me. If you go into the details you will see that my plan eventually gets rid of the current law.
When you speak at events and say things like "I want to get rid of Obamacare" you get crucified. The fact is it's not going away, so the best thing to do is create a plan to modify it and eventually make it obsolete.
I came out of the Libertarian party, so yes I want to cut spending. There are ways to cut spending and improve the outcomes, but anyone who comes out and says that they are going to get rid of the Department of Education has absolutely no chance of winning an election in Maryland. There are many government agencies that could be eliminated or reduced.
Remember that a majority of voters in Maryland are anti-gun. I get this type of question frequently and have to dodge it. If I say I support sensible legislation - I can usually get past it without details. My answer: No I do not support the President on this and will completely oppose any such legislation.
4. According to research, every year in this country “30,000 lives are cut short by guns.” And, according to a New York Time’s article earlier last year, “As tears streamed down his face, President Obama on Tuesday condemned the gun violence that has reached across the United
States and vowed to curb the bloodshed with or without Congress.” For all the emotion President Obama showed, the Times goes on to say: “Mr. Obama nonetheless faces legal, political and logistical hurdles that are likely to blunt the effect of the plan he laid out.”
Question? – Can the President count on you in implementing or carrying out his plan? If no, state you plan to ensure greater gun safety and security for the American people.

You are correct, I avoid mentioning the 2nd amendment, with the exception of I some of my brochures state that I support the 2nd.
Most voters in MD are against the 2nd - so I avoid the topic otherwise I have absolutely no chance.
member NRA, have my collector permit in MD, Navy veteran
I get these types of questions all of the time. I'm not going to publish any information in regards to being a strong supporter of the 2nd - don't really care if it costs me votes from gun supporters - can't win the election saying I will oppose all gun regulation - that's just how it is. It's an impossible district (2nd congressional) for a Republican to win - therefore I publish what appeals to Democrats or at least gives them a comfy feeling. It's unfortunate but a Republican will never take the 2nd congressional district with a published strong stance on certain topics. You can always vote for Dutch.

"... in order to get XYZ to vote for me" is, IMO, a disingenuous approach.
"Sensible legislation" is always a dodge, regardless of who says it.
Personally? I have more respect for people who will back their positions proudly and seek others to support them, than someone who offers hedges and platitudes to get elected.
We already have plenty of that.
Oh... and we already know the 'statistics' are massaged.

I appreciate you returning to clarify your positions, but it's time to change the "realities" of politics in the state. Personally, I am tired of hearing politicians say "this is my secret position but I can't say it publicly or vote for it because I would lose votes.
The tail should not wag to the dog.

We don't need any more dodging, obfuscating, diversion-minded jokers like you running for public office.
We have more than we can handle now.
Find a littered highway and at least make yourself useful.

lol - so now you speak on behalf of all registered Republicans. Maybe all but one that is, because your views do not match mine to a tee. Somehow, I am guessing that not all registered Republicans share your exact sentiments on 1 through 15.
I can tell you that I am pro-choice, until the first trimester is up. After the first trimester, the baby is carried to term and if the mother and/or father are unfit to take care of the child there is always adoption.
Social security. You truly believe it will be around in 20+ years. Right now, there are 5 workers per social security recipient. In 30 years, there will be 2.5 workers per social security recipient. Me thinks there will be a revolution. Bad enough that as a self employed individual I have to pay 15.3% toward FICA/Medicare.
We agree on a lot of things, just not everything. From one registered Republican to another. Granted, I agree even less with the OP. lol
Elimination of G&S - was not familiar with this acronym - if it relates to concealed carry and "good and substantial" - then that needs to go. If a person is eligible to purchase a handgun then I support concealed and open carry reciprocal across all states. I can't get a concealed carry in MD - if I get elected I will apply for one.
Repeal of HQL - this is specific to MD - I hate it. I actually do not have mine and have not purchased a handgun since. Would like to see it repealed.
Repeal of FSA banned firearms - I would like to eliminate bans on weapons, including fully auto
Repeal of magazine limits - I purchase out of state - but this needs to be repealed as it makes no sense.
Position on No-Fly / No-Buy bill - if the no fly really targeted terrorist and there was a way to appeal and get off the list, then I could live with that. Otherwise I'd like to see it go.
Position on the definition of antiques, BP, or airsoft as modern firearms - these should not fall within any gun regulations - quite ignorant legislation.
etc.
Would love to hear the OP's official positions on these issues and if he is willing to make these positions public and run on them.
I will post information in this type of forum, but my official website - no way, would never get more than 20% of the vote. Topics to avoid: drastic budget cuts and guns. If I were running in Ohio, yes, I would have it all published.

Hope the anti-gun people don't find my videos 
The one titled Marshall Ever - is me, that's the name I use for making movies. Funny thing about the FS2000 - Maryland didn't consider that as an assault rifle, so it was cash and carry after the basic background check. That's my favorite gun followed by the persuader. I do want to pick up a 50cal but they are quite expensive.
I will admit that I have not been to a range in a while - was in Ohio a couple weeks ago shooting some stuff my brother had that went Boom when you hit it.
They would know my answer to these dumb questions:

Maybe I am a little dense. Maybe I am a little old. Maybe a little of both. You have all these convictions, but will not publicly admit to them. You will only admit to them amongst "like minded folks".
I have convictions that I will admit to ANYWHERE. Most honorable folks do. You may mean well, but what you sound like is what everyone hates about politicians.
Honesty is honesty. Hiding something because you think it might not appeal to everyone is, in my eyes, dishonesty. At least you have that in common with every other politician.

I don't support $15
10. What does pro-adjustable minimum wage mean? Minimum wage is determined by the person being hired. Will they do the work for the wage the employer is offering? If the employer can't get anybody to work for the wage they are offering then they may need to increase it. There is no reason that the government should step in.
It means what you just said - if an employer determines it's necessary to pay more, then they will pay more - that's adjustable.
I'm against having a minimum wage in the first place - let the free markets determine the wage -- can't say that in MD and have any chance of winning.

Wait, we're not done bashing you for being a typical dodgy politician.
