I think the most important thing we got today was organization. My allegiances are with my principles, not a party. But like it or not, winning requires organization, and that means working through an established party. Most of the patriots who were there today probably never did anything remotely political, except vote, in their entire lives. I know most of us on here are proudly and fiercely independent, while the other side are collectivists. They are infinitely better at voting than we are.
Most pro-2A people in VA realize now that getting out to vote last November was more important than whatever it was they did that day instead of voting. If only a few more had voted, they wouldn't be in this mess. I used to be one of those guys that tried to organize conservatives to vote, and it was frustrating how most conservatives didn't see the value in making lists, volunteering, walking neighborhoods, etc.
Now VCDL and the local Republican party officials have lists of people that are energized and willing to work to turn this back. And just maybe, in two years, we'll get the votes to reverse at least some of it.
