Favorite Guns of the GOP Candidates
Daily Caller ^ | 12/14/2011 | Alex Pappas

Posted on 12/14/2011 10:05:22 AM PST by GlockThe Vote

Every Republican running for president brags of being pro-2nd Amendment while out on the campaign trail. But how many candidates actually practice what they preach?

Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum has seven guns, spokesman Matt Beynon told The Daily Caller. His favorite, the aide said, is a Kimber 1911 pistol.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul also owns guns, but his campaign wouldn’t get into specifics.

“He does, but a good 2nd Amendment person doesn’t tip off home invaders what guns are in the house and how many he has,” said Gary Howard, a spokesman for Paul.

A .22 rifle is former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman’s favorite, spokesman Tim Miller said.

“He has a .22 rifle, 12 gauge shotgun and .38 pistol,” Miller told TheDC.

A spokeswoman for Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann wouldn’t go into details about any guns Bachmann may keep.

“For obvious security reasons, she doesn’t disclose what type of guns she owns,” said Alice Stewart, a spokeswoman for the presidential campaign.

But she said Bachmann likes semi-automatic rifles. “Michele’s favorite gun is the AR-15,” she told TheDC.

Perry is the only believable 2nd admendment supporter who actually exercises their rights. IMHO.

I’m not sure what the origin of that is. Probably a custom job.

Michelle Bachmann and Ann Barnhardt have something in common.

Too bad all mine were lost in that boating accident.

Funny, that has happened to a lot of Freepers. Really bad boatmen, we are.

We'd need a bigger boat.

Boy, I’d like to the press for re-loading the 105mm... And where do you buy the projectiles? Or do you just cast them yourself?

A Harbor Freight arbor press works just fine.

And where do you buy the projectiles? Or do you just cast them yourself?

Jim DeGroat cast the projos for his 90mm T8 Antitank gun himself. Old Babbit metal, scrap aluminum, whatever. Fitting the copper driving bands is a little tricky, but no worse4 than fitting piston rings. Big ones.

Jim's 90mm at play, Knob Creek,2006

Mark Serbu has something real similar on his BFG .50:
