The problem is us, the population who arent well informed (Like the OP), and either dont vote, or vote without all the information.

NOW you're using your brains.
THIS is what I'm talking about!
Just not sure why we're insulting monkeys by comparing them to politicians.

Or they convince themselves that stockpiling weapons and ammo is the only way they won't be executed by government shock troops.
The paranoia is getting a little alarming, and well intentioned folks like the OP there (who I agree with right up to meeting your maker part) end up playing right into the anti-gun agenda.
Just stop and think about it, there's a huge portion of people actively stockpiling weapons for the "inevitable" confrontation with the government, who they suspect is out to kill them.
What, exactly, can you expect as a logical outcome from that?

Just vote against the incumbents, all the time, and you'll end it. Down side is, you throw the baby out with the bathwater (i.e. the handful of good ones).
Campaign finance and lobbying are really the bigger culprits.
