Thank you for the thread. I believe the government of VA, and parts of the Federal government, want bloodshed, that they can blame on the right.

There may be a not-so-obvious reason for that.
As I posted earlier, the problem will not be cured on Monday.
If you have one million there demonstrating for the 2Nd Amendment the problem will not be cured.
Even if we bluff them into backing off, the problem will crop up again.
The root of the problem is that VA is being settled by persons who have no love for either the Constitution or the founding fathers. Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Patrick Henry to them are just names in some musty old book.
The only way, and it takes much more time than a Monday demonstration, is to either through the courts or through legislation (which requires electing better people), get a high court decision or new legislation that makes it very difficult to pass laws voiding constitutional rights.
It would also help if the president would get rid of the many useless bureaucracies that employ the people who have invaded Virginia. Department of Education at the top of the list as an example.
Going to Richmond on Monday is risking getting your head broken or worse, and all for nothing.
