about the "Democrat" label many of them hide behind. There are Democrats, and then there are Republicrats. I have been told by several that they are "moderate" Democrats.

As far as the Second Amendment interpretation, anyone -- Democrat or Republican -- who sincerely believes that they have a "right" to carry a deadly weapon in public for no reason other than a perceived threat for which they may need to protect themselves, is seriously anti-social and has paranoia issues.

ETA: The political demographics of gun owners is 49% Republican, and 22% Democrat.
