If you were president, where would you stand on: Gun Control, Abortion, illegal immigration, terrorism, the environment, and the economy. And why do you stand by what you say?

I would be tough on guns. The countries and cities with the most stringent gun control laws have only a percentage of the annual shooting deaths as gun crazy countries like the US. The "right to bear arms" does not protect, and was never intended to, semi-automatic weapons.
Women own their bodies. Not the government. Period.
terrorism? The United States military policy should hold self-defense as the supreme ideal, not imperialism. Perhaps the hostility and violence toward the United States would be lessened if the United States didn't turn a blind eye to the billions of people suffering in impoverished countries.
The environment? Protection of our earth trumps ALL else. Long after corporations enjoy billion-dollar profits, and long after entire civilizations have fallen, our planet will still be here, and it's our duty to protect it for the succeeding generations who will inherit it from us.

1. gun control. Follow the 2nd Amendment, especially the ..."shall not be infringed." part.
2. abortion. All people in the USA would remain free to choose their own medical treatments.
3. illegal immigration. Hire an illegal alien = go to jail. Do it 3 times you get deported. If you're a US citizen and you commit such treason you get stripped of your citizenship and get deported back to the country of origin of the last illegal alien you hired. "FREEBIES" for illegal aliens: food stamps, welfare, education, housing and medical would be cut off. ALL illegal aliens in the USA would be deported and their country sent the bill. The 14th Amendment would stop being perverted and the "anchor baby" would be a thing of the past.
4. terrorism. Secure US borders. Bring US troops home from around the globe. Stop the USA from being the world's policeman. Make it know that any terrorist striking US citizens will pay. Most of the 9/11 hijackers were citizens of saudi arabia. saudia arabia should have been turned into a parking lot by the end of the day on 9/11.
5. environment. We only have one, take care of it. Even a dog knows better than to crap where it eats.
6. economy. No more corporate welfare.
I stand by what I say because I believe it.

Gun Control - Could have sworn that in our constitution it gives citizens the right to bare arms! So what's the problem with that?
Abortion - My twins were born 2 months early, yet in some states it's legal for women to MURDER their unborn children at the very same age and call it a choice. MONSTEROUS! Sorry, but abortion shouldn't be considered a method of birth control!
Illegal Immigration - Costs US taxpayers over $330 BILLION a year in lost wages, benefits, and other services where as the cost of deportation would cost roughly half that. So what's the problem?
Terrorism - Get them BEFORE they get us!
The Environment - Not convinced that mankind is responsible for global warming, but probably not a bad idea for mankind to learn to start cleaning up after himself anyway. Clean air, water, and soil is NEVER a bad idea!
The Economy - Pay people what their worth based on ability, not racial quotas. Have also found that as long as you give away free money (welfare) there will ALWAYS be people there to claim they need it. So how about if we lower taxes so that the WORKING citizens can keep more in their pocket and put more food on their table?
My name is DrewBloodSD and I'm a decisive Libertarian that believes that our government should exist to provide us with the FREEDOM to live our own lives our own way, and then defend that freedom when called upon to do so. Simple as that!

I'm pro-second amendment. Law abiding citizens would be entitled to owning a gun, we should focus on stopping criminal from getting guns. Abortion should be legal. On the issue of illegal immigration, I'm sort of in between. I don't think all 12 million deserve to stay here. I think we shouldn't give out amnesty to all. We should give it to people who've been here more than 5 years, know English, never been in prison, have families, and we should also build a 10,000 reinforced wall on the border. With National Security guards making sure no one trespasses it and we should try to put quotas on legal immigration. We have to be selective about who we let in here. Terrorism needs to be wiped out. We should work with countries who are willing to help us and initiate operations to dismantle terrorist groups from within. I do believe in global warming and we should do something about it. Build more hybrids and enter into agreements with other nations sort of like the Kyoto treaty. The economy can grow if we let the stock market flourish. We don't need too much government intervention. It only hurts business. We should lower taxes and abolish government welfare. Take out useless federal departments. We should trade with everyone who wants to trade with us. I stand by what I say because is a resonable way to govern a country. The views of the right and left have ruined the nation, libertarianism deserves a chance.

No gun control because the bad guy will get it through the black market anyway, tougher law will deter crime, not gun control. I am against abortion but there will be exception in a case of rape or for medical reasons. Tougher law on illegal immigration before it is too late. No compromise with the terrorist, kill them all before they kill us. We need to take step to protect our environment, it is important for our children and grandchildren. Stop spoiling people who only want handout from the government, make them work.

Gun Control: Gun control is being able to hit your target.
I have always said that if we had a more martial aspect to our culture, and an armed populace then Crimes like Virgina Tech would not happen.
If criminals are afraid they will get killed they do not commit crimes, or at least not major crimes that can get them killed.
If they nut jobs had a short life expectancy while trying to commit these kinds of crimes they would not risk it.
As it is now, they are assure of the "Fish in a Barrel" because nobody can stop them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Abortion: Keep is safe, keep it legal. If you do it... it is your choice you have to answer your God in the end. It is legislating morals and my morals are not your morals.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Illegal immigration: Send them home we owe them nothing. If you are in a gang and selling drugs in the US, summary execution.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Terrorism: Bring home all of our troops from overseas and secure our border with our troops, let the rest of the world kill each other if they want. We won't stop them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The environment: Reduce Greenhouse gasses NOW not in ten years, all the money we won't be giving in aid (see the economy) to other countries any more will be spent on becoming energy self sufficient.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The economy: Stop all foriegn aid. Bring the jobs home and let Americans work, create jobs by making us build our own stuff again. Anybody remember Zenith and RCA? We used to make TVs in the US. Great TVs... Make them again.

Gun control- there should be very limited control. Convicted felons should not be able to purchase guns, but others should be able to.
Abortion- against. I'm pro-life all the way. A baby should not be punished by being murdered due to the mistakes of its mother. I do favor (on an extremely limited basis) an abortion if it would save the life of the mother or if the mother was raped and the pregnancy was a result of the rape.
Illegal Immigration- against. People who want to come to America and seek the American Dream should be able to, but they should all have to do it the proper way and follow the bureacratic process. However, the process should be simplified.
Terrorism- what kind of question is this? Of course against. I'm for the Patriot Act and believe that we should all give up certain civil liberties if it will provide a safer country.
Environment- I'm all for strengthening our environmental laws to clean up the air.
Economy- it was strong, still is, but is slowing down. Hopefully taxes won't be raised, that would lead to recession.

You see, if US minds its own god d..n business, there wouldn't be any terrorism, would it?!
So i guess, i would stand on ''reforming'' this stupid foreign policy that has been sucking the lives out of those nations in which have been victim of America's ponderous acts and wrong, unjust side taking!!

Gun control....Make sure you hit what you aim at. If that security guard at the church wasn't armed how many more dead would there be>
Abortion....Personally against killing innocent unborn babies although I see no way to ever reverse roe v wade
Illegal immigration.........Stop fining companies who hire illegal immigrants. Mandatory 2 year jail sentence. It would make people stop and think if they could be jailed. And the judge could not make it lower than 2 years.
Terrorism...........Hit them before they hit us. Waterboard every prisoner. They torture and behead our soldiers.
environment...........cleaner water and air........Forget the global warming hoax
economy.........lower taxes
