Dozens of the Democratic lawmakers who participated in the well-hyped 25-hour sit-in beginning Wednesday in an attempt to force the House to consider stricter gun control measures are gun owners themselves.
Another example of liberal hypocrisy?
HeatStreet compared the Democratic participants against a 2013 USA Today survey on firearm ownership by members of Congress, and found 26 names of gun-toting Democratic lawmakers.
Adding to the hypocrisy, some of the lawmakers posted anti-gun messages on social media.
