I spent years contacting my elected representatives. Then I started branching out to other state and national politicians highlighting the same updated FBI, CDC and DOJ data as well as other academic studies. Certain ones I directly note their hypocrisy with photos and articles of their CCW permits, armed guards, old speeches, misinformation, comments based on ignorance, etc. All those national politicians vote nationally. I've even written to editors of newspapers responding to their editorials. None of the above know where I live , who I vote for or my political affiliation then I always sign my letters/emails with my military signature for a little extra weight.

That sounds awesome. I empathise with your efforts. Have you ever considered running for office?

guess it never hurts... i emailed our wonderboy kaine against his misguided gun control efforts and got an email back from him thinking me for my support for gun control. they're pretty much going to do what they're going to do.
In the grand traditions of idiots proposing nonsensical trades on sports forums, I hereby propose that we trade Chicago, Seattle, and Portland to Canada in exchange for Alberta and a small slice of British Columbia or the Northwest territories to physically connect Alaska to the lower 48. Then trade I-5 west from San Francisco to San Diego to Mexico for a territory to be named later and some delicious juevos rancheros.

It’s shameful that the democrats can parade around in public with such a hard on for gun control. Think of the SERIOUS problems we have. Instead, they choose to spend their time promoting a feel good cause of the misinformed, radical wing of their party while accomplishing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It really is disgusting.
Their own party platform statement revels their disingenuousness when they refer to “Preventing gun violence”. They are only, by their own statement, interested in violence committed with a gun and sadly, not because it’s violence, but because it’s violence committed using a particular device. I repeat, disgusting.

What really burns me is that those idiots make more for doing nothing than a large segment of their constituents who bust their hump for substantially less.

If that burns you the. You should get extra burned when you think about the fact that they get paid by taking money through the threat of force from the people you say make substantially less, but the really bad part is how inefficient and reckless they are with that money.
here is just one example:

It's in the eyes of the public, talked about by politicians, yet we still have no change. How in the world is this allowed to continue (2a infringement, reckless spending, etc...)?

Never forget that your lawmakers and their staff exempted themselves from ACA Obamacare.
Lawmakers are also exempt (by their own hand, such a surprise) from insider trading laws. They can use information they acquire from their position to buy and sell stocks. Lowly citizens go to jail for this, if they get caught.

I fixed the quote "Never forget that your lawmakers and their staff exempted themselves from ACA Obamacare while having you pay for their insurance. "
Don't forget, they are representing the interest of the people when they make these rules.
Another pre-Civil War tidbit:
Those creatures cannot be arrested while Congress is in session.
Public servants my a**.

Thanks for the modification. It underscores their true mindset.
They do represent "the people" in their rulemaking; the people who count, in their view: the rule makers.
I was going to say trading SoCal to Mexico, for free, sounded like a good idea. Then I remembered it would mean giving Hollywood away.
Then it seemed like an even better idea.
Yes, just like the view that they are idiots for pushing gun control. They aren't idiots, they know exactly what goal they are pursuing. It just isn't public safety.
And a few so called 2A people here are surrender monkeys who have already thrown in the towel.

Just wait until more states adopt per gun and per round taxes. Illinois and some other municipalities have already adopted these "gun taxes." Even if guns/ammo are still legal, if they are taxed heavily enough, they will become a privilege for only the wealthy
Lest we forget Swalwell or ($#twell) saying either we comply or they'll nuke us in not so many words. Really Democrats, you want them come get and try to get them, enough is enough already. BRING IT!
Here in the Democratic People's Republic of Maryland, very little can be done outright. However, here are several ideas I have brought up before and that I am doing. 1) Register as a Democrat and vote against the incumbent in the primary. Many times these grabbers get renominated by a slight margin. When they lose write and tell them it was their stance on guns Also, when you write them they will find out if you are Democrat or not and will respond if you are and ignore if you are not. 2) Support MSI and all legal challenges to MD laws in the courts, that is the only way we will win anything here right now. 3) Take someone shooting, your kids or a friend. You don't have to be a hunter to enjoy the sport of shooting. Education and experience and memories will help. My son and I stop for lunch on the way out and a treat on our way back.
Anything and everything people can do to protect our 2nd Amendment right should be supported.
