First, as I have written, I thank the good Lord for looking over all at this years Lobby Day/2A Rally in Richmond Virginia. Thank you.
The folks who attended this years event are touting a victory.
Well it was a moral victory for those patriots that did indeed attend the festivities. It showed to the world that 2nd Amendment supporters do want a peaceful resolution to the political machinations of the Democrats. So, it was good PR.
On the other hand, it was an intelligence trove for the State. As one of the commenters to Historian's piece noted, all those who attended the event should be considered compromised electronically. In the event the Virginia situation goes kinetic, everyone who was at the event will immediately be considered an enemy of the State. Think about that for a minute. The State will be looking at all associates of the Lobby Day attendees. The NSA doesn't have all that processing power for show, they will use it.
What exactly did the Lobby Day event accomplish? I guess we'll know in a few days if the good PR is worth anything.
My gut feeling is the Democrats are going to continue to push their agenda. Laws infringing on rights will be passed. Will they be enforced? A certain percentage of Law Enforcement will enforce the new laws, because they're "following orders". Remember, those Statist enforcers have to sleep somewhere, and they have families. Fourth generation warfare is not kind to Statists, and I'm afraid that's what we'll see as Virginian politicians continue to stir the pot.
For the patriots that attended the event, they should savor the positive feelings of accomplishment. Savor them now before the bitter taste of new gun control laws are rammed down your throats.
