How shocking to read such a phrase: "sanctuary counties for firearms rights." Trump would be right to intervene in such a situation, to restore those rights to the entirety of the state, forcefully if necessary.
I expect that the voters will 'intervene' as they did in the 1994 midterm elections:
Bill Clinton's Costly Assault Weapons Ban
"Patrick Griffin, his chief congressional affairs lobbyist, recalls the lead up to the bill’s passage in 1994—and the steep political price that followed....."
"...We] made some concession [in the Senate] and, boom, we got the bill done and went to conference [and finally passed]. That was a whole other trauma, a story in itself. The rest is history.
We lost 53 seats in the rural areas [in the 1994 midterms], particularly in the South.
When asked if this bill was a key element, Griffin said: “Absolutely. Yes. I’d say, for 40 of those seats, yes.

And they voted against all this stuff but they were still targeted politically because their president was for the [assault weapon] ban.”"
Republican Revolution
"The
Republican Revolution,
Revolution of '94, or
Gingrich Revolution, refers to the
Republican Party (GOP) success in the
1994 U.S. midterm elections,
[1] which resulted in
a net gain of 54 seats in the House of Representatives, and a pickup of eight seats in the Senate. The day after the election,
conservative Democrat Senator
Richard Shelby of Alabama changed parties, becoming a Republican; on March 3, 1995,
Colorado senator
Ben Nighthorse Campbell switched to the Republican side as well, increasing the GOP senate majority...."
"...Numerous Republican freshmen entered Congress.
Of the 230 Republican House members of the 104th Congress, almost a third were new to the House.[3] In the Senate, 11 of 54 (20%) Republicans were freshmen...."
