No they still plan confiscations. They only dropped the senate bill, they still have a house bill that bans ar15s, and any semi auto firearm that accepts mags over 10 rounds. They also have grandfathering but only with a permit that requires full registration.
The bill they still have is worse than the bill they dropped.

Depending on their . . . style . . . I don't begrudge folks earning a living serving up interesting information to me.
And, I understand some can be off the scale prepping but it is still a worthwhile task.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are some antifa types going undercover to start trouble and have it blamed on 2nd Amendment supporters.

I woukd think that any counter-protest would involve people smart enough not to attack people carrying firearms, but I could see someone who thinks it's a joke or is dumb enough try and grab a handgun out of someone's holster orbsomething even dumber.
Hopefully though, it's a nice civil turn out.

That's one heck of a sales pitch by Hodges to scare people into buying his wares.
Follow the money if you want to find out intent. What's happening in Virginia is tailor made for him to increase his sales dramatically. I'd say he's playing it for all it's worth since it's like Christmas for him.
Lots of hyperbole and exaggeration, but I doubt the rally will be violent.
ANTIFA is not really dangerous
and gun rights advocates tend to be civil unless attacked. I'd expect a few staged for YouTube scuffles and not much more.
The DHS briefing was apparently planned in December or before, so it's hardly about any emergency.
The Fear Jocks of course would be all over this to line their pockets.
