One of the things I think that needs to be taken into account is the Dem long game. We all know that they might not be chess grand masters, but they do play by Alinsky's and Marx's playbook. While nothing will most likely happen out of the whole thing other than a "walking back" of full-boat confiscation to simply more restrictions, (as previously mentioned) I would think that the overall goal on this play by Northam (and Bloomberg, et al) is working out just like they want. They WANT the attention and they WANT some overzealous "patriot" to start a skirmish so that they can use the fodder for further political gain. "See, all these trigger-happy patriots with all these evil guns are just itching for a fight!" "These guns are evil!" It's a lot easier to push a narrative when there's "evidence" and it's also easier to label "patriots" as "domestic terrorists" after such an event.
Any incident that happens BEFORE an actual tyrannical act from the VA government is what they are planning on to further attempt to sway public opinion nationwide. Remember, while we are informed, a vocal majority of the population listens to the MSM and believes what they say. At least to the point where they are able to mobilize their voter base. Our voter base has always believed in the overall "goodness" of man and has relied on that at the ballot box. The current impeachment of the President is just a foreshadowing of what the left is capable of.
This whole thing needs to monitored and prepared for accordingly, but ACTION needs to be seriously considered for the long game. This is simply the first step and a "testing ground". Remember, it's a lot easier to implement gun control strategies the closer it is to federal assets, and VA is right next to DC, made up of a LOT of DC elite. The President needs to keep a serious eye on this and shut down what he can, but we know he's able to be easily swayed on gun issues.
