Trump has no authority to intervene in those.

The feds intervene in state and local crimes all the time.

Take for instances all the police officers charged federally on a regular basis because the feds feel the state is not prosecuting them enough for civil rights violations.

A prosecutor is no different and subject to the same federal jurisdiction.

The second amendment is a constitutional right and the local prosecutor has no authority to ignore it. He is breaking the law.

The left has been hammering us for decades using civil rights as a method to attack the right. It time we give them a taste of their own BS.

In that case they charge them with federal crimes. They don't interfere with whatever state charges involved. Are you suggesting there is a federal crime they should be charged with?

No. State prosecutors charge for state crimes. Federal prosecutors charge for federal crimes. One does not have control over the other.

This is not a Second Amendment question. The McCloskey's have not been charged with a crime as yet but say, for the sake of argument, they're charged with unlawful use of a weapon. That's a felony punishable by up to four years in state prison and a fine. Where does the 2nd Amendment play into that and how can Trump intervene in a local felony arrest?

A major problem is the Supreme Court refuses to enforce the Second Amendment beyond the Heller and McDonald opinions.

I cannot recall a single successful case being brought against a public official under 18 USC for violating Second Amendment rights.
