The media like to paint gun owners as far-right republicans, but I've always been amazed by the number of left-leaning folks who have a positive opinion of firearm ownership.

The folk singer Bruce Cockburn (he did "If I had a rocket-launcher") is a big supporter of firearm ownership. I saw a documentary about him a few years back. It was funny to see a hippy with pierced ears, blonde hair and an alternative fashion sense hanging out with a bunch of rural, plaid wearing red-necks.
