Unfortunately so many people put their gun rights or desire to control other people (abortion, LGBT, etc.) ahead of this.
No. Absolutely not.

People identify issues which matter the most to them. they discount issues which do not matter to them. They then support the party that is identifying with their issues.

If race isn't an issue in your day to day life (say as a Caucasian male) then you are unlikely to put racial related issues as your priorities. You're more likely to prioritize other items.

It is an error to state or make the assumption that every supporter agrees with every platform position of their candidate.

I suspect there are an awful lot of democrat supporters who think Clinton should be releasing to the parents of the Benghazi victims why security was pulled.
