What better precedent to follow then one a DEMOCRAT President used?
Their heads would explode, and all he has to say is “Truman did it, for the same reason - to protect Citizens Rights.”
Except what does the 82nd protect? There’s no little girl who wants to buy a AR15 and go target shooting. In your Little Rock example there were kids who just wanted to go to school & and a fat obnoxious governor preventing it! Good optics! Sympathy for kids none for the Gov! Here you have none of that! Better you say, ‘ OK Piedmont & I95 Virginians you want to live in a AR15-less (or similar society) ok! However the rest of the Virginians want to maintain their full 2nd Amendment rights! Its only fair that you let them go and decide their own destiny.’ That would play better in Peoria!
