If a republican doesn't vote and or, doesn't vote for Trump. That person is not a republican.
Johnson threw a replica of George Washington's flintlock in the trash at the Libertarian Convention. Literally. People saw him toss it into the garbage can. It was a gift given to him by his rival. Also, his running mate, William Weld, is a hardcore gun control proponent. If your goal was to pick a pro-gun candidate you seem to be doing a very poor job.
Donald Trump is a shrewd, self-centered businessman who might very well strike a deal over guns that screws us over, especially if it makes him look good.
Hillary Clinton is Machiavelli-in-a-pantsuit who is already dedicated, by her own statements, to screwing us over, and submitting Supreme Court nominees that would continue the screwage for decades.
It's not a pretty choice, but there it is.

I'm more concerned with the candidates stated positions. Trump has been for gun control in the past, said he was against it, but then recently said yeah, let's strip 2a rights from people without trial.
Johnson is the only candidate running that stood up for the 2nd Amendment consistently.
And really, like I care what he did with a toy souvenir. Austin Peterson doesn't care and he's the one who gave it to him. Why should I?
I'd support the Republican nominee if they'd nominated someone palatable, but they nominated Trumpdashian. No thanks.
Gary Johnson is a piece of garbage. There is not a patriotic, pro-gun individual I know who would throw a replica of George Washington's flintlock in the garbage. That is beside the fact that he very publicly threw out a gift from a rival. Those are the actions of a trashy, vindictive person. Oh, and it sure doesn't look like a toy souvenir to me.
Principle over Party, to a point. At a certain point, influencing who actually holds office is more critical than making an indirect statement. Hildebeast is Evil, period . Warts and all, Trump is the only one with a chance to stop her.

Are all Trumpeteers this deluded? He said very plainly that he wants the NRA to support his position of blacklisting people on the terror watch list from buying guns.
The terror watch list is maintained by the whim of a bureaucrat. There is no due process there.
Anyone who holds that view should be barred from taking an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.
There is a third, better choice.

since when are libertarians anti-immigration and/or anti what might be called "extreme leftist positions" (admittedly not sure where you're going with this) by default?Johnson is also pro-illegal immigrant, among other extreme leftist positions. He's not a libertarian, he's a hippie.
You sound like someone who really has a lot to offer the forum, but since you're not even ten posts in and already hurling insults:
