U.S. Congressional candidate Ken Aden poses for a photo at S&L Pawn in Russellville, Arkansas February 2, 2012. No one thinks gun control is going to be the most important issue in 2012, but there are specific races and constituencies where it certainly will matter. Aden, a 33-year-old Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran, is challenging his former battalion commander for a Congressional seat. Aden is running as a progressive Democrat; his opponent, Steve Womack, is a freshman incumbent, part of the Tea Party sweep of the 2010 midterm elections. Aden has strong views on guns and collects them, he also knows what terrible damage they can do. When Aden was 16, his father was shot and killed on Christmas Eve by his stepmother using his dad's own 357 magnum and his shotgun. Picture taken February 2, 2012.
