I have done the reverse, I have voted D because the R (George Ryan) was anti gun.  Glen Poshard was not and only one of them is now a convicted felon.  Downstate > Dupage County > Crook County

2A above all others.  It's the fundemental core of freedom at this point.  Take it from someone who has been infringed upon.  It must be issue #1.  I'm lucky that I'm old and have lots of the firearms they infringed upon and am grandfathered in.  Young guys and gals are screwed here. They have to move to be free, armed Americans.  I hope the other states remain free.

edit- changed response to



Single issue at a time.





 

Similar thing going on where I live. Our County Sheriff is R, but refuses to sign off on stamps. South of us, we have a D, who will sign off on SBRs and Cans. Supposedly there's some history there with his employees making some mistakes... whatever. But he, a Republican elected official, is barring me from making my firearms hearing safe. And he just got reelected.

The benefit of being a pro-gun Democrat is that, if my side loses, at least I know that nobody is gunna' screw with my gun safe. But this guy, he breaks that mold. WTF?

Oh well, I have a trust anyhow, and 41p seems dead. Still, it irks me.

I'm not quite a single-issue voter, but close.

In state and local elections, I vote RKBA and TABOR (one if the coolest features of the Colorado state constitution. Seriously.). Every other issue is a distant third to me, and being perfect on literally everything else won't overcome a candidate being dead wrong on those things.

In federal elections, RKBA is the closest thing I have to a deal-breaker, but that's not quite absolute. Bernie Sanders claimed to be pro-gun up until this year, but to me a pro-gun socialist is still a socialist and FBS.

Not so much a conservative as a libertarian, though. Pro-legalization and I don't have a problem with putting gay marriage and polygamy on the same legal ground as straight monogamous marriage, to the (limited) extent that I care about either issue at all.

Poll sucks.

It's not really that I'm a single issue voter, so much as that supporting disarmament exposes such obvious flaws in character and reasoning.

This is sort of like asking if someone is a single issue voter because they'll pull the lever for the person who doesn't substitute puppies for clays when shooting trap

If they are willing to "compromise" on a clearly spelled out constitutional right, their best use would be as a reactive target, but sadly , that is illegal.

I vote for whoever is less of a commie than the other guy.

The Republicans have no real interest in stopping illegal immigration. What did they do back in 2000-2006 when they had the house, senate and presidency?  Did Bush 2 undo any negative, with respect to the 2nd amendment, EO's?

My vote will go to whoever comes out most strongly against political correctness. We're spinning our wheels trying address any of the other issues until that's out of the picture, and, once it is, a great many of them will simply resolve themselves.  I truly believe it is the root of most, if not all of what we consider our most serious problems.

The Republicans did not control the Senate at all in 2000, had a one vote margin for five months in 2001, and were the minority until January 2003.  Despite that, here is what G. W. Bush got done on guns from 2000-2004:

1. UN Small Arms Restrictions blocked by US (undone after Obama elected)

2. Attorney General declares Second Amendment is individual right - reverses 35 years of previous Justice Department doctrine on the matter.

3. Attorney General refuses to allow legitimate purchase of NICS data to be used for fishing expedition - Ashcroft stops grabbers from sifting through NICS data of legitimate purchasers to look for "terrorists".

4. Ashcroft changes NICS data holding from 90 days to 1 day - NICS data on legitimate purchases will now be purged from the system in a single day as the law intended rather than being held onto for 90 days per Clinton policy

5. Bush supports and will sign lawsuit preemption bill (and did sign it after he won reelection in 2005)

6. Bush ends taxpayer funding of useless HUD gun buybacks

7. Signs bill closing loophole that prevented cargo pilots from being armed

8. Signed the appropriations bill containing the Tiahrt Amendment that protects gunowner privacy by making item #4 the law of the land.

9. Gets chance to have several things he claims to support (lawsuit preemption, gunshow background checks, semi-auto ban) on a single bill. Sends letter to Congress asking them to consider only lawsuit preemption. Background checks die and AWB goes away - we get lawsuit preemption.

10. Partially repeals Clinton ban on import of some semi-auto firearm parts instituted in Summer of 2000 to allow import of parts for repair purposes. Doesn't repeal any Executive Orders relating to guns instituted by previous Presidents.  Later reversed by VPC lawsuit on this issue.

11.  Ground-breaking Heller decision with both Bush II appointees in 5-4 majority

Not a one issue voter, but I consider support of the Constitution (including the 2A)  a prerequisite.  Regardless of your views, if you don't support the Constitution, you won't get my vote.



 

This.

FPNI

Guns first.

I'm not a woman, not gay, give zero fucks about drugs. The .gov is gonna take my monies regardless.

Let me keep my guns, you get my vote.

I can honestly say that I'm mildly surprised by the results. I'd expected a majority of "true conservative" votes.

I am too.  I vote for whom will keep the .gov from growing the most.

Unfortunately, it will grow under anyone we elect.

I am looking for a VIABLE party that will
a) preserve the 2A
b) preserve a woman's right to abortion
c) scale back the police state
d) allow adults to deal with themselves.

If one ever appears, it won't be until the last of the boomers, and probably Gen X folks are dead.

1A and 2A are a good litmus test for a candidate's views of liberty and freedom.

The rest of the American way leans on those two. The constitutions of most tyrannical dictatorships read nearly identical to ours except with those two regards.

I can't think of anything funny to say that wouldn'tget me a time out.


So.




Lol.

Gun rights is my most important issue. I am pretty social on certain social and defense issues as well- which sort of reinforces my decision to vote/ register Republican. Without the gun issue, I might not be a Republican.

I put a lot of weight behind a pol's 2A stance and stated goal of leaving me alone.

You're not a citizen? Is that by choice or are we full up on goose molesters? (Don't ban me bro!)

No seriously, is there a reason? Feel free to tell me none of my business, no offense would be taken.

I vote based on:

1. Pro-Second Amendment.


2. Anti-Illegal Immigration


3. Pro-America First.


4. Willing to do what it takes to maintain our status as the superpower.

'94 AWB.  Sunset.

U.S. Supreme Court second amendment rulings.

Shall issue CCW growth in the past 20 years.


I'm constantly under attack by fire ants in my yard.  Doesn't mean they get very far.

I have almost $US18.4 trillion other reasons that influence my vote.

Otherwise, I'm a socially liberal douchebag.  I consider being pro 1st and 2nd amendment rights to be mostly in the socially liberal douchebag category.

this+++10000

That pretty much sums me up.
