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.

Here’s the full list of Democratic participants, as compiled by HeatStreet:

• Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick
• Rep. Bennie Thompson
• Rep. Dina Titus
• Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger
• Rep. Jared Huffman
• Rep. Jim Cooper
• Rep. Jim Costa
• Rep. John Carney
• Rep. John Garamendi
• Rep. Keith Ellison
