It sounds like members of “the base” were Dems wearing red hats. Did anyone note that Al Kayda translates from ‘the base”.

Look, I get it. I know where the distrust of the FBI comes from. I also think it's plausible the WSJ came up with the link to the rally all on their own.

I would bet against that due to the fact I believe it was the governor himself who recently alleged there were threats from persons outside of the state. My first question would be, where did the governor get that information? And if in fact this is accurate, it would require the FBI to be involved. I'd say it was a good chance someone at the FBI or the governor's office had to link these specific suspects to the rally.

But according to you the charges filed on these suspects never mentioned this specific rally. I find this quite odd.

“who had discussed...”

Lemme guess, they discussed it while the fourth member of their group, the FBI informant, was dutifully taking notes.

Well, probably not plants per se, but just idiots who let the FBI infiltrate them and then prod them into doing stupid things.

This means obviously that the feds are working with the Virginia governor to take our guns.

Looks that way.

“Sometimes it’s pro law enforcement, sometimes it’s Antifa-like in its disdain for cops.”

Well, a lot of us will support the cops, or denounce the cops, depending on HOW the cops decide to behave.

I’m not “pro law enforcement” or “anti law enforcment”, I’m just pro-people who respect my Constitutional rights and liberties. If the cops fit that bill today, then I’m for them, but they’re just as likely to not fit that bill tomorrow.

What happened to all those in the rank and file agents who wanted to come forward and blow their whistles?

They don't exist, and never have. The agency is corrupt to it's very core. I wouldn't trust them to testify as to the direction the sun will rise tomorrow morning.

They diverted some agents from the Trump beat?

These guys are legit neo-Nazis who made a fully automatic rifle, shot it, and transported it across state lines.

That may be. But some people here probably remember the multiple instances of supposed dangerous, right wing, proto terrorists who manage to violate a firearms law at just the right moment to fit into the liberal narrative.

How likely do you think it is that an FBI agent just happens to be at a firing range and hear what he thinks is an automatic weapon? What real neo-Nazi type goes to a gun range where FBI agents are also shooting?

It sounds like the sequel to the "militia" in Arizona that supposedly showed movies of explosions and explosives and were a real danger to society. Those guys turned out to be a pistol team that competed in the same matches as the FBI, State Police, and local PD teams and the movies were produced by the BLM and used to teach safe use of explosives.

Don't be surprised if the charges get dropped in the future, and the supposedly dangerous neo-Nazi goes back to his day job as an FBI informant.

Wait, he was arrested because there was an illegal with them? He should have been given the key to the city and the welcome mat rolled out for the illegal alien. /s

If he was what they said, it’s a good thing. They don’t need people like that anywhere near the rally.

That magnificent statue of the minuteman that stands at Lexington should be used by all gun rights people. This has dignity, honor, courage and a reminder that gun rights go back to the very beginning of our country.

We are living in times of wide spread cluelessness by many people of all ages. The left uses imagery and symbolism to tear down all the good things about our country. We have to use imagery as well to raise up our history.

We have to make the minuteman our symbol. Remember the Tea Party people—how they used the Gadsen “Don’t Tread on Me” flag? I would love to see the minute man on flags, on signs and statues everywhere. Take back American history—it is ours.

Yep -

“Federal authorities arrested three men allegedly linked to a violent white-supremacist group who had discussed traveling to a pro-gun rally Monday in Richmond, Va., and preparing for a possible race war, according to a law-enforcement official. “

So, they are “suspected” WS and “allegedly” have ties...

Wish they’d go after Antifa that vigorously - they said they intend to cause havoc in Virginia and while armor and helmets have been banned, black hoods haven’t....Hmmmmm.

This story sounds very fake to me- made up-

Same here. You have to be pretty dumb to tell a complete stranger that you have a machine gun, especially when you're an illegal alien (...from Canada..?). And the guy you happen to tell is the FBI guy at the range?

yeah the story stinks to high heaven- This sounds like a made up story that the FBI are embellishing thinking it will make it more credible- The ‘perp’ seems to have been very specific in his details- too specific- too informative- I seriously doubt it happened- and the timing is very very suspect-

Who goes out in public at a shooting range with a full auto and fires around strangers, and then basically says “Golly Gee Willickers, I sure hope no one noticed I’m firing an illegal gun’ ?

[[who manage to violate a firearms law at just the right moment to fit into the liberal narrative. ]]

Exactly- Way too suspect- Way too contrived-

[[What real neo-Nazi type goes to a gun range where FBI agents are also shooting?]]

Well, to be fair about this one point, they could have been out of view, or not in uniform or something- some ranges are pretty large-

[[Don’t be surprised if the charges get dropped in the future,]]

Yep- the msm will drop the issue, and the ACTORS will go their merry way and no one will be the wiser- after the objective of northram has been completed ie unconstitutionally denying 2n’d amendment rights

Everyoen knows this whole dang scenario is a ruse- to paint gun owners as dangerous unhinged lunatics, so that new laws can be passed to deny constitutional laws
