Hmmm guns- heavy support on second amendment, lifelong hunter, long distance shooter and former military. I do support 'shall issue' permits for auto weapons, explosives and flamethrowers, just like we have now and enforcing current restrictions on ownership. I support expanding CPL (with additional training) and have one myself.

Healthcare? On the state level, not my circus, not my monkeys- that is a federal issue. But I think the ACA got 19 million people insurance. I do support national healthcare. My stance on pain management, addiction and medical marijuana is rather obvious and supportive. Medicaid deserves funding, but universal healthcare would be an improvement.
Just to add a couple of other points, I would like to have a serious look at what we consider 'crime' and 'criminal' with an eye to move to civil fines and no incarceration (people need jobs, to be able to get to their jobs, and to not be hampered with 'criminal' records for non-violent issues). We need to strengthen the public defenders office, encourage trials rather than plea bargains, and reform the civil forfeiture process to require convictions.
