The horrible Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) is once again moving forward in Congress, so now’s a key time to contact your Senators and Representative. https://stopkosa.com has a summary of why this bill is so bad, including its harmfulness on LGBTQ+ youth, as well as a form to contact your Senators. But Republicans are just fine with bills that are harmful to LGBTQ+ youth, so they may well see that as a good thing!
Here’s an alternate script designed for Republicans legislators. You can use it to call – for a phone call or email – from jamie quinn on Bluesky (shared with permission).
You can call the Senate switchboard at United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. Or, use EFF’s page.

This is very smart. You’ll never win over Republicans by asking them to be good people, but getting them to choose between a law they want and protecting the 2nd amendment is a very tough trap to put them in.
Can’t logic folks out of positions they were not logiced into.
…but you can manipulate through emotion, and the 2nd amendment is a touchstone for a lot of people.
