Hmmm... checking the state's population developments over the past seventy years by county... Arkansas does have a LARGE suburban population.
But it has only developed relatively lately, so the GOP didn't have the historical suburban base to build on like they did in some other southern states.

Interesting you point Clinton out, but his record on gun rights as governor, I believe, was very uncontroversial.  I'll admit Clinton is somewhat unique, however his charisma and political skill allow him to be unique.
