Probably not? Mike Pence type voters really, truly believe in the “at conception” part, with exceptions being extremely rare.
I have… at least 25 cousins born to parents who do not believe in contraception nor abortion, of different denominations.
There are a lot of these folks. Based on my IRL experiences, this is not a niche opinion, though it may be shrinking with church attendance.
The “arm the schools” gun control types do feel more like a perpetually online, algorithm boosted niche. Rather hardcore Obama-hating hunters I’ve known are not into automatic weapons, nor the more ridiculous ideas. They are very into, to paraphrase, “being responsible for your goddamn firearm”. Like you said, what they fear is warped by Fox News (and TBH true quips from some of the more extreme Democrats).
I think 90% of Dems agree with 90% of Reps.
