Even the youtube livecams have shut down. It turned out to be a nothingburger in the violence department.

It should read “2nd Amendment Constitutional Support Speakers”

Take the highest ground possible so your opposition must argue against the constitution, not you.

VA is a real scary place right now. ANTIFA thugs are preparing to ignite the crowds and/or conduct “false Flag “ ops , appearing as conservatives to give the 2A supporters a black eye.

Didn't happen, though some may have shown up.

I saw a clip with four guys with hoodies and black face masks in the crowd. They were just standing still, doing nothing.

There was nothing to indicate they were Antifa, but no one else was dressed that way.

When I went to our county sanctuary meeting there were 500 people and from what I understand every county had about 500. Times 90 counties would be a crowd of about 50,000 if everyone that went to their county meeting also went to Richmond today. I would not doubt the crowd was every bit of 50,000 but no more.

I didn’t see any Antifa. I saw a girl with pink hair and a face mask and facial piercings but she was pretty clearly a pro 2A person. She was as close to Antifa as I saw.

50,000 is still a good turnout.

Got boots on the ground. It’s total numbers near the Capitol building and surrounding areas.

If Virginia has a decent open records law, the appropriate agencies should be queried.

Virgina Pro Gun rally

Check out :43 into the video. Was this an ANTIFA infiltrator?

We saw some “undercover” antifa there today. one guy had 3’ long dreadlocks and was carrying a full face motorcycle helmet. He was so out of place there that he should have been wearing a clown costume. There were lots of eyes on him. Several there carrying motorcycle helmets. There were others that just seemed to not belong.

Sorry buddy, but the video images don't lie. The true numbers weren't anywhere close to that.

I saw an interview where one of the organizers figured the attendance at about ten thousand, which I thought was generous.

12,000 is great! People are setting up unrealistic expectations to downplay how successful today was. The media is deeply troubled that they didn’t get blood so this is their consolation prize.

When I worked for the State of CA (quit in late 2003), the ratio was around 70% brainwashed sheep (dems) and about 30% conservatives, free-thinkers, and independents. Some of us voted republican every now and then...
