Contact your legislators, probably Dims, and see if they will buck the Pelosi and Reid agenda.
I strongly suspect that in most cases, they will not.
We are not seen as constituents to them, just rednecks clinging to guns and religion.

Agreed, sir.
Perhaps it might be useful to remind our representatives of the 1994 election following the assault weapons ban?

After the election [of 1994] I had to face the fact that the law enforcement groups and other supporters of responsible gun legislation … could not protect their friends in Congress from the NRA. The gun lobby outspent, out-organized, outfought, and out- demagogued them.

Bill Clinton,
My Life, p 1007.
It might or might not have an effect, but I don’t think it can hurt.
