Probably some of the same people that support banning firearm sales to people on the Bush/Cheney "Terrah" watch list. Or maybe the ones that think Scott Walker is right to ban guns from some state buildings or the inevitable Bloomie 1%er supporters.

It always amazes me how some supposed progressives are ready to accept pretty much any potential infringement on civil liberties ... as long as it has to do with taking guns from people.
