Are Gun Owners Planning on Voting Differently Than Non-gun Owners?
The differences are not really large for the Democrats, but gun owners give Fred Thompson a good strong start in this race. I assume that Thompson will pick up even more once people really focus on him as a candidate.

I think that he's polling as well as he is for a candidate that has yet to announce his candidacy, or really done any significant campaigning, says a lot.
I think he can do well.
You missed Ron Paul off the list. He's the only candidate that's NEVER voted for any kind of gun control and by far the strongest 2nd amendment supporter. Unfortunately, the MSM are attempting a total media blackout on him, which may be why you haven't heard of him.
