Who are some pro-RKBA Dems who are ALSO progressives

i.e. not crap "Dems" who are horrible on every other issue like Gene Taylor, Dan Boren, Travis Childers, etc.

I know John Dingell has voted against FISA along with voting for some progressive measures and is pro-RKBA. Mark Begich, hopefully Senator-elect of Alaska, is also pro-RKBA and is endorsed by Blue America. Sen Jon Tester's (Montana) name also comes to mind.

5. Progressive Dems know that RKBA is the acronym for right to keep and bear arms protected by the

Second Amendment that Obama has promised 80+ million gun-owners he will defend.

10. Mark Warner gets a "A" rating from the NRA

And he was the Keynote Speaker at the DNC. I hope to see him in the Oval Office one day.

11. And he replaced D rated republican John Warner.

I had wished we could see him in the whitehouse now back before primaries started, but he felt that it would put too much stress on his family to campaign for that. Mabye in 2016 then.
