I believe exactly this. Unconstitutional actions taken by the executive and legislative branches, and supported or ignored by the judicial branch are many and obvious. While the 2nd amendment is the one we focus on here, is not the only one being trampled.

My message to the leadership of the republican party is this; if Senator Cornyn will not support my constitutional rights, and you will not provide a candidate who will support my constitutional rights, then is my best option to vote straight democrat so that the violent overthrow of the federal government happens sooner rather than later? Do I consider it, "Tamiflu for the Republic"?
I'm drafting my letter to them, and I'm not sure if I want to state my feelings this directly or not.

Felt obliged to send this note to Conaway. Sending individualized versions to all of the others too.

I understand that there is a group of people calling themselves "March for Our Lives" who are planning to gather at your office in Llano on March 24th and march to the courthouse. I support their right to assemble and their right to speak. As a matter of fact, I support all their rights as guaranteed by the constitution and I would like them to respect mine.
My wife, our two children ages 18 and 22, and I are all responsible firearm owners and users, and we do not believe that the people in this group will be made any safer by making us less free. My wife and I have each worked in Texas education systems for over twenty years and believe that school safety is the responsibility of each district and their local law enforcement agencies. We support the arming of school employees including faculty. We support the Hearing Protection Act and the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, and we appreciate you supporting them as well.
