    And this jackass, Chris Hurst, VA Delegate and gun control advocate said, "I was prepared to see a whole lot more people show up than actually did and I think it's an indication that a lot of this rhetoric is bluster, quite frankly." He pretty much dismissed the whole event as a non-event.

    After reading that, I'm wondering if the rally will have any effect on the pending gun control bills or future bills that may be introduced. The VA democratic house speaker and the senate majority leader said the rally wouldn't have any impact on their plans to pass gun control measures.


    All that sodomite is trying to do is downplay the sheer amount of folks who showed up there. Cant expect the truth from some cherub faced polesmoker with an agenda

    14 measly miles from Fairfax to Richmond and not so much as a peep out of LaPierre & co.

    I opened mail from the NRA today and they generously extended the deadline for me to up my membership status. Care to guess what I'm gonna do?
    Send $50 to GOA first thing tomorrow?
    I'll take that under advisement, in the meantime I found a good use for their pre-paid envelope.

    ETA: I signed it before mailing today, 1/21/2020.

    "We are all thankful that today passed without incident. The teams successfully de-escalated what could have been a volatile situation. This resulted from weeks of planning and extensive cooperation among state, local, and federal partners in Virginia and beyond.

    Virginia’s law enforcement and first responders demonstrated tremendous professionalism. I’m proud of their work. I have spoken with Colonel Settle of the State Police, Colonel Pike of the Capitol Police, and Chief Smith of the Richmond Police Department, as well as leaders of the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s office, and thanked them for keeping Virginia safe. "

    Statement from the governor. He didn't see what we saw.
    De-escalated what??? There was nothing to de-escalate.

    I thought the pen alone was for 10,000.
    And there was 10x that outside the pen.

    It seems the pen wasn’t filled due to the fact that no firearms were allowed inside. I don’t think it ever reached capacity.


    The number is probably going to be less than what many advocates report and a lot more than the what the MSM reports. I don’t really trust either group to not inflate or downplay the numbers.

    I’m sure someone with time could use photos and videos to make a fairly accurate estimate though.

    I can't vouch for validity and I don't remember what outlet said so, but I believe it was one of the pro gun youtubers that said that there was about 6,000 inside the pen. I believe they were cut off at that point because it certainly looked like more could have gone in.

    The guy from MrGunsngear said on his way out from the rally as things wrapped up he ran into someone who just got off one of the buses that didn't make it to the rally in time. He said there were a lot on buses that didn't make it. Haven't heard anyone else report that though.
