| No | Do you generally support gun-control legislation? | ||
| DC, Chicago, Detroit and New Orleans have shown us that banning guns doesn't save lives but increases gun violence. The war on guns is much like the war on drugs in that it creates criminals without making society any safer. Our second amendment was put in place by our forefathers to stop an authoritarian overthrow of the people. We are living in an era where our civil liberties are being taken away one by one in the name of fear mongering by what is looking more each day like an authoritarian government. History proves that taking guns precedes totalitarian rule. | |||
| Yes | Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")? | ||
| There have been over 350,000 deaths attributed to the underinsured and uninsured since the ACA was given as a gift to the insurance companies from Obama. | |||

Lowering taxes on people and small businesses which incentivizes competition, stimulating our economy. 3. Protecting our civil liberties (privacy) and keeping our internet free from censorship. |
