"We’re currently just a few weeks into Virginia’s legislative session, and the fact is, not one bad bill has become a bad law. Nothing’s been signed by the governor yet. In fact, nothing has even gotten to his desk at the moment. We’ve had three gun control bills pass out of the Senate, but the House hasn’t even had a single committee hearing on any gun control legislation. In fact, Virginia gun owners are actually having an impact on the debate in the legislature, thanks to the Second Amendment Sanctuary movement that’s swept across the state and has led to tens of thousands of engaged citizens contacting their lawmakers to oppose Ralph Northam’s gun control agenda....."
Read the whole thing. It goes over the specific pieces of legislation, and their status. His recommendations make sense. He has a history of supporting 2A.
"Where Things Stand Right Now
Clearly the civic engagement of gun owners in Virginia is helping to mitigate some of the worst of these bills. We are having a positive impact on some pieces of legislation, and the Democrats are far from unified in what their gun control bills should look like. It’s one thing to cut a campaign ad promising “common sense gun safety measures.” It’s another thing entirely to actually write a piece of legislation that isn’t a total mess.
Gun owners in the state of Virginia need to keep contacting their lawmakers to politely but firmly urge them to reject Northam’s gun control agenda. Now is a time for civic engagement, not civil war. Even if the worst of these bills become horrible laws, they can and will be challenged in court. Virginia gun owners need to play the long game right now. We are making a difference at the state legislature, but that will likely change if there is any violence during Monday’s Lobby Day.
I will be there, alongside tens of thousands of my fellow Virginians, to peacefully lobby lawmakers and to encourage gun owners in the state to continue to stay engaged, informed, and active in the political process. If that’s not why you’re coming, stay home. If you’re attending the Lobby Day activities and you see individuals trying to start trouble, let the police know. Don’t try to handle it yourself. Walk away and talk to the authorities. Let’s all do what we can to ensure that Lobby Day is a peaceful and powerful gathering of Virginians and those who support their lobbying efforts to defeat Ralph Northam’s anti-gun agenda. "
Gerrymandering. Joining a suburban or rural area to a city like Petersburg or Richmond. So people lose their R representatives, inherit an entrenched Dem instead. No hope of voting them out, sometimes no candidates to vote for. That's how Northam got his narrow majority. They're using it to finish destroying Virginia.
Frog + pot of hot water slowly getting hotter = Virginia citizens
Northam's big mistake is that he set the burners to full blast.
Not necessarily a mistake, rather an indication that they feel they are out of time. Good problem to have, but still need to counter their attempts.
It’s not the end of the earth, but you can see it from there.

They did change 4 key voting laws while you weren't looking though, so It's no longer red.
