This is exactly what I mean. The only alternative isn't a great one. We've already seen where so called "conservatives" will pass $1+ trillion budgets, so, the best you've got is to pray that someone supportive of #2 gets into office. ie - Not Hillary/Bernie. Don't split the GOP (that would guarantee a Dem win), and also pray that Bernie decides to go 3rd party. As far as congress goes, getting people in there who don't draft stupid bills at all is good as well.

Your second amendment rights are ultimately dependent on who the POTUS nominates, and who the U.S. Senate confirms, to the SCOTUS. Beyond that, your second amendment rights are dependent on your state legislature (who would be voting on any proposed changes to the Constitution).
With respect, you can single issue vote for an independent or libertarian all you like, or just stay home in protest, but it won't help the situations that ultimately affect your second amendment rights.
Sorry for straying from the original topic.
