Huge crowds, but everyone was polite in spite of the jostling. Very energetic, adamant patriots, proud to be here!
Lobby Day has been a huge multigender, multiracial, multicultural 2A success with over 100,000 people of every persuasion execising their right of peacable assembly rallying in Richmond in support of the 2A

Yes a great success for our side. Now the politicians have the ball. What will they do after such a clear demonstration of public displeasure with them? My gut says they will continue with their anti gun agenda and it will be up to the citizens of Virginia to show them the consequences at the next election. It was the massacre of Democrats in the 1994 congressional election that made gun control the third rail of politics from then until now.
Congratulations and thank you to everyone who showed up at the Lobby Day. From what I can see, y'all really did a fantastic job of representing us, .... all of us.

Well done, everyone.
I’m also curious about the crowd estimate. The news was reporting 22,000 last I checked... a very respectable number, indeed. But, I’m seeing 50K and 120K posted here.
Either way, nice job for those of you who were there!

Excellent lobby day and HUGE turnout!!! So many there I had great difficulty moving about. Could not get into the Capitol grounds as it was too packed. Some pics in the link

One of our members was in the VCDL EOC they set up and caught that from the State Police.
Local news sources claimed 20K & 50k by their estimates.

I wouldn’t trust that number from any news source including Reuter’s. They will underestimate because they don’t want it sound as good
it was probably more, how many more it’s hard to say.

The MSM reports I heard were very noticeably disappointed and acted surprised that there was no violence "in spite of" a large number of "militias" and guns in the crowd.

Since Lobby Day has passed and was a huge success by any standards we can close this with a great sense of satisfaction that huge numbers of patriots of all races, creeds, ethnicities, cultures, sexes, showed up and that only good things took place.
While this clearly demonstrated to Northam and his cronies that they underestimated the support for the 2A in VA, a successfull rally is the fun part of Activism. Now the hard work must be seen to.
Keep the letters, emails, phone calls flooding in to the elected officials. Remind them politely that you oppose any restrictions on gun owners and that you will support them if they support us AND that you will work against them if they vote against us. Remember that there are Recall efforts already starting to unseat Antis so you don't have to wait until November to unseat those who would infringe upon the 2nd. Get 5 friends or family that are VA voters to sign those Recall petitions. If just one seat is recalled it sends a huge message. Start NOW working against the Antis that have publicly pledged to take away your rights and remember that the Antis are against all of those that showed up for Lobby Day regardless of race, creed, color, gender, ancestry, left, right, or libertarian. This is a natural right guranteed to all Americans.
