The ban crowd is losing their public support from all but the true believers; Joe Average will go with whichever side sounds less crazy dangerous at a moment in time, and right now the antis sound crazy dangerous.
And for everyone outside VA, it shows the danger of your state being taken hostage by crazy leftists exploiting political-demographic changes in just a handful of highly populated areas. Your state could be next, wherever you live.
Agreed. I posted a devil's advocate post about how this may only empower the left to actually go through with it, but largely, it's showing that the warning about gun confiscation was not tinfoil hat stuff. I remember how after Hurricane Katrina, the mayor basically suspended the constitution and NOPD officers literally went door to door and took everything. The video of the old lady being thrown to the ground so they could get her cap and ball pistol away from her I think sparked new life into our cause.
They turned the fire up on the frog with this. Unfortunately for the left, and fortunately for us, Eric Swalwell and Beto O'Roarke opened their cockholsters and basically told us we were right to worry. So, even though the Dems told us to write those guys off as marginal candidates talking out their ass, we knew better, and so I think the gun community was ready for this.
