“What Happened in Staunton” on Tuesday? “Canary in the Coalmine,” or What?

The 2A citizens are organized in VA ... WATCH what happens Nov 3rd
I live in NOVA. There are just too many people who have moved here in the past ten years (almost 500,000 people in our part of the state alone) who have brought their ‘Rat politics with them. Only 1 seat out of 30 in the VA House of Delegates from NOVA is held by a GOPer. Manassas used to be a GOP city; now only one of six aldermen is a GOPer (as is the Mayor) and both will probably be swept out in the next election. Our delegate is the Bernie Sanders acolyte Lee Carter, and he looks like he is going to be in office for a while.
