I like the practical idea that sheriffs will be willing to deputize hundreds or thousands of citizens. This will allow all of those citizens, even under the new laws, to continue to own and carry guns.

Since the National Guard is ultimately at the whim of the President, I'm hoping that Trump will step in if/when necessary to prevent them from being used to disarm the citizens of Virginia.

I really wish he had deployed the National Guard in Charlottesville when we all realized that the governor was unwilling to use the police to keep the opposing sides separated.

The National Guard serves at no one’s whim.

They all take an oath.

And take it seriously.
