Breaking News: No Violence at Gun Rally, Liberal Media Extremely Disappointed.


One thing the media will never understand about America is that gun rights are a cultural issue, far beyond any political party or candidate

But the people will always be happy to remind them.

Even Democrats believe in the 2ndA and show up for these rallies.

I see 3 guys hanging out together in Richmond, with belts holding 3 or 4 30 round mags, a kevlar helmet, and sporting an AR in a major city, and I the first thing that comes to mind is "foolish overgrown children".

No. They're all around outside the small gun-free zone, open-carrying, which is LEGAL in VA.

Anyone else see the stupidity in that?

The real action is on the streets of Richmond.
Like I said, hardly anyone inside the area. The streets are rocking with patriots, packing heat.

Sounds like it was peaceful all day-from what I read there were ZERO arrests. Sad that those on the left can't manage to hold an event like this and instead choose to riot and destroy. It would appear that Pantifa decided to stay away when the good guys were men with guns, instead of women and the elderly for them to attack.
