As for then speaking out through the media. They are not experts on the second amendment or actual gun control policy. If my neighbors car gets broken into, that doesn’t make me all of a sudden an expert on police policy to shut down a car theft ring.
The politicians we elect aren't experts on gun control policy. We have a POTUS that, from what I can tell, doesn't understand how our government works, let alone the nuances of policy. We need to be careful when we say only experts should be talking about any of this, because that isn't how a democracy or a republic works. That's a technocracy. They have the right to express themselves on the issue, if you don't like it or what they have to say, then don't listen.
