> rural people and some others will not consent to giving up 2A or being disarmed, full stop.

I read some “gun people” discussing this. An argument was that they were not single issue voters, but rather they were a foundational issue voters.

That all rights (to him/them) are supported by the idea the public is a counter force to the government. Fundamental before all other issues because is the prevention of the gov backtracking or infringing on anything “down stream”. So...

That if a politician supported the disarming of civilians that was indeed a full stop to other thoughts on abortion or the foreign trade or etc.

It was a good read really, because calling them a single issue voter may give the wrong impression, which is good for no one coming to the table on other issues.
