Herman Cain is a gun owner and strong supporter of the right to keep and bear arms.

I plan to ask all the GOP presidential candidates about their commitment to the issue for my series, “Emily Gets Her Gun,” but here’s what the front-runner in both of the most recent polls from CBS/New York Times​ and Fox News​ had to say.
