I'm guessing that the people in that poll, while they may own a gun, mostly don't vote pro-gun. In other words, they say to the politicians "I'm fine with any gun control measures you may introduce".
You'd be guessing wrong, I think. That is certainly true for some of them, but not all---and the gun issue is a BIG reason that so many union members split their tickets.I'm guessing that the people in that poll, while they may own a gun, mostly don't vote pro-gun.

That means nothing. So is Obama and so is Michael Moore. A life member just means that you paid for the more expensive "life membership", not that you have always been a supporter of the NRA. Most politicians get their "life membership" when they get into politics so that they can say that they support hunters' rights and that they are life members of the NRA. That means absolutely nothing. I bet you Sarah Brady has a life membership with the NRA. I'll bet you a dollar.John Kennedy was a life member of the NRA.

Less than 1 in 5 gun owners hunts, and less than 1 in 5 shoots skeet or clays. The majority of gun owners own guns for defensive purposes and recreational target shooting, and that trend seems to cross the political spectrum. Somewhere around half of U.S. gun owners registered to vote are registered Dems and indies, a lot of those are going to be nonhunting, non-skeet-shooting types. IMHO, if the tens of millions of gun-owning Dems agreed with the AHSA's pro-bans positions, then the AHSA would have more than a few thousand members, if it even has that.benEzra, I bet that a lot of those Democrat gun owners are AHSA snobbish skeet shooters, and not going to people shooting EBRs and such. I'm not bashing skeet or anything, I love trap but I got a hunch I'm along the right track. Don't know, maybe I'm wrong.
Reagan?
You better check again. He did not sign anything.
Has anyone else seen a sort of weird pro-gun slant from the hippies around your area?
