I don't think VA is even a litmus test to see what they can get away with, I think it is a means to an end. We are seeing gun control legislation all across the south east and I believe they picked the south east because we are the most willing to resist. Anti gun legislation is going to get passed across the south east, like in VA, then they will start selectively enforcing it trying to get the reaction they want then the media will use it as proof that they were right. They will use those who resist violently as an excuse to have the UN step in to help our government disarm Americans under the guise of conducting peacekeeping operations here.
Here is a UN job listing for for a disarmament officer.

I believe we have about a year before things really start to heat up. After those elected take office in this next election we will see widespread anti gun legislation. The political machine trying to disarm, and enslave, us will use voter fraud, voting machine tampering and criminal activity to ensure there is a widespread blue wave this next election. They have been perfecting it since Obama got elected. I believe this is why they are so upset at Trump, they believed they had done enough to ensure Hillary would win. The next election they will go far beyond what they think they will need to ensure a victory.
States are posturing by passing laws nullifying the electoral college as well as giving their electoral college points to the popular vote winner. If their candidate wins the popular vote but not electoral college they will protest. If their candidate wins the electoral college but not the popular vote they will abide by the electoral college win. Some states have said Trump will not be on their state ballot and by the time it is proven illegal their candidate will be in office already.
