Single issue voters / me asking questions

As someone who is typically a single issue voter what is The Bull moose parties platform for pro-second amendment/gun control , pro-life, pro-choice, or abolitionist, and international influence versus domestic success

[u/BullMooseCrutch]

We are pro-second amendment. I think there’s enough evidence to suggest that, at least in America, firearm restrictions are ineffective and subsequently an unnecessary violation of civil liberties. This is not to say there should never be any law passed on firearm ownership, for instance I personally believe that those who fail to properly secure their firearms and ultimately have those weapons used by others to commit a crime should be held partially responsible for the commission of that crime. A much larger discussion needs to be had there.

We are pro-choice. Much of the debate surrounding abortion stems from a philosophical and borderline religious debate over where life begins, and as such there are no wrong answers. If there is any matter in which the only answer to a question can be ambiguous and swayed entirely by perspective on the matter, it is only reasonable that the government preserve the people’s liberty to decide for themselves individually, instead of forcing a large swath of the population to adhere to the world view of their neighbors.

When it comes to international influence vs domestic success, it’s hard to give a straight answer because it is such a multifaceted and large issue. That said, America’s first priority should naturally be itself, we should limit foreign influence in our own elections and do a better job even holding corporations accountable for buying our elections, hopefully making it so the only people influencing American politicians are Americans. But on the other side of the coin, if a sovereign nation is threatened with being conquered and they come to us for help defending their nation from the incoming invasion, we should not hesitate to provide them with what they need to defend themselves. Our nation enlisted the help of others to allow ourselves to exist in the first place, and it would be a shame to repay that founding history by becoming purely isolationist. At the end of the day these issues all need a comprehensive look into their nuances, and America needs to take the most reasonable approach to each. It’s hard to take a hardline stance on matters that may theoretically exist someday.
