Glenn, I think "one issue" works or not according to the perceived threat.
With Mrs. Clinton, there was no doubt that ultra repressive, "Gestapo" style gun control would have been a very high priority. Many social conservatives voted for the president regardless of disagreements on social/moral issues.
If conservative "gun people" do not perceive an imminent threat, they will vote "one issue" on some other issue.
And that, IMHO, is the danger.
