Yeah I’m dreading it. I just hope it causes even more backlash against the gun nuts. The Republican majority in Richmond for years ignored gun violence.

IMO, it’s all going to come down to the level of violence the march engenders. If it comes off with a hitch, or at least only minor, non-casualty-inducing hitches, it’s probably going to be reported (unfortunately) as at least moderately favorable to the marchers. Or, in any case, frantically both-sidered.

However, if there is, (Dog forbid) a Charlottesville-type incident, yeah: I think the backlash is going to come: I’m sure that there are going to be plenty of swastikas, Odin runes and SS-symbols in evidence: it’s not likely to make the march organizers look good if their “Second Amendment” turnout devolves into a Nuremberg Rally, still less if violence breaks out.
