2nd Amendment Story: Pro-Gun voters could issue a Reality Check to their Democratic Senators in the form of their votes

U.S. Sen. Max Baucus has been here before. 

Back during the Clinton era, the Democrat faced a choice: support an assault weapons ban urged by a president from his own party and risk angering constituents who cherish their gun rights, or buck his party. He chose the ban, and nearly lost his Senate seat. 

Now, as he begins his campaign for a seventh term, Baucus faces the question again. For weeks, gun foes have sought assurances he would oppose the assault weapons ban. But it was only this past week he said he would oppose it.

Baucus isn't the only Democratic Senator from heavily pro-gun states or rural regions where gun owners make up a large voting block. There are at least 6 other Democratic Senators that better think long and hard before they vote on anything that would change alter the 2nd Amendment rights of the citizens in their states.

Other Democratic senators that Republicans are watching closely include Mark Begich of Alaska, Kay Hagan of North Carolina, Tim Johnson of South Dakota, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Mark Pryor of Arkansas. 

Democrats control the Senate, but if Republicans pick off these seats they could take the chamber.
