This is Trump, he's just saying things. He has no idea what he wants or believes.

It's amazing that there are people who actually think people on terrorist watch lists should be allowed to buy guns

Yup. As I've said elsewhere, if it's proper for the government to say that a person who has psychological problems can't purchase a gun (and I don't think anyone argues against this), why wouldn't it be proper for the government to say that a person who has been placed on a terror watch list can't purchase a gun?

A sensible position, but it's unclear who Trump is attempting to appeal to. This will piss off more conservatives than liberals/moderates it will impress.

The one thing I find most intriguing about Trump is that he'll take a stand on what he believes to be a common sense position, regardless of who it will piss off or impress. Voters will continue to agree or disagree with him, naturally, but I honestly don't feel as though he's out to pander, like most politicians do. The lady running on the other side? She's a completely different story...

If that were true, why does he constantly change his position on every issue that pops up?

Trump is unique in several positive ways:

1.  He answers the question asked, even if he's over the top.

2.  He's taking positions that he really thinks are right, even though it doesn't seem that way at times.

3.  He's willing to convince his supporters and potential supporters that he's right about something they disagree on, instead of just shift his position to fit theirs.

This part of Trump is actually refreshing.  I can't imagine Hillary going to the bathroom without running it past a focus group or pollster.

Then why does he flip-flop so much?

Just because the guy is pandering to the worst opinions doesn't mean he's not pandering.
