Under the wording of the Second Amendment, Number 14 might actually be defensible in court, but that would not mean the Supreme Court would go along with it.

Countries (all countries) are controlled by their governments. Where government officials are elected, the government will be controlled by politicians. This is how it works.
All that said, of course it is appropriate for citizens to "get involved, speak out, educate themselves and vote." This is the path to getting elected representatives who govern in a manner in which their constituencies approve.
