How about which ones own guns?
Utterly irrelevant and possibly misleading.

Let's not forget that Dianne Feinstein is a gun owner. In fact, she's one of a very small group of people to hold a CCW permit in San Francisco.

Charles Schumer is a gun owner. He's best buds with the president of Colt.

Mark Sugarmann of the Violence Policy Center invented the meme of "assault weapons" and led the charge to shut down "kitchen table" FFL dealers in the 1990's. He also holds an FFL in Washington DC.

Mark Kelly and Gabrielle Giffords are gun owners. The list goes on.

Gun owner is a very poor indicator of support for the 2nd Amendment. I'd go so far as to throw temperance to the wind and say in means diddly squat.

There. I said it. I'm not sorry.

That said, I know many people who don't own guns but support the RKBA in principle.
