Guns. That's a big one.

Oooh. Well see the anti-gun-control stance is actually an example of what I would personally call a liberal position because it is individualist. (For example, if we regard libertarianism as the logical extreme form of liberalism, then it is no coincidence that libertarians broadly oppose gun control.) It's just an area where liberalism and leftism tend to be in conflict, not unlike when it comes to economics.
 
Libertarian and a voluntaryist.

Conservatives: Reject. Too easily movable. Though I do find value in some of their more traditional supports.
Moderates: Reject. Doesn't really mean anything of value.
Progressives: Reject. Way too authoritarian and changeable.
Other: Too broad to judge with a simple favorable or unfavorable rating.

Politics being defined as an exercise in interaction with the "Polis", which is a greek word for community, I think you might find your position quite limiting.

When you completely reject all but a subset of the smallest Faction, you set your expected interactions to such a small fraction of the populace, you'll never achieve enough consensus to see any concept put into action.
