Virginia Declares State of Emergency - After gun ban inside capitol buildings, now starting Friday all guns/weapons/helmets/shields banned from the entire capitol grounds until Tuesday.
It looks like the weapons ban on the capitol grounds may be justified.
The demonstration is acting like a magnet, attracting every malcontent in the country. I know this was not the original intent of the VCDL, but events are spiralling out of the VCDL's control.
No.then governor northam will take vcdl more seriously when they arrange the next rall
The ABC article does NOT state the three were "planning to come to the demonstration hoping to spark a race war". It states they were arrested "under suspicion they might travel to the rally 'in anticipation of a possible race war'". This is yet another attempt by the media to associate Second Amendment supporters with far right extremists.Odd things are happening. It looks like the weapons ban on the capitol grounds may be justified.
Antifa has said that they're against gun restrictions, and are in sympathy with the pro-gun demonstration. So if they do show up they will ironically be on the side of the gun owners. But there's no telling what they might do.

Meanwhile the FBI has just arrested three neo-Nazis who were planning to come to the demonstration hoping to spark a race war.

No.
While I don't regard Mr Northam as particularly intelligent, he has set up an absolutely perfect storm wherein No Matter What..... the Press and his Leftist base (I repeat myself) is being handed a perfect photo optic wherein the Law-abiding attendees are going to presented as part & parcel of a no-win Antifa/SkinHead-fueled foodfight.
The MSN will play it all out as irrefutable evidence of the need to disarm the masses
Having the capitol grounds effectively being rendered a gun-free zone invites a comparison to nearly every site in which a mass shooting took place. This isn't good.The tragedy will be that we were so close to defeating the most onerous of the antigun proposals. Trouble at the rally will set us back tremendously. The way both sides have framed Monday's event, it's almost impossible for there not to be trouble.
This is exactly what the left wants. They want conservatives to be afraid of speaking up, of protesting, of holding rallies.The tragedy will be that we were so close to defeating the most onerous of the antigun proposals. Trouble at the rally will set us back tremendously. The way both sides have framed Monday's event, it's almost impossible for there not to be trouble. We have been led into a trap.
+1. And when law makers want to take away gun rights/2nd Amendment, remind them about voting rights and 14th, 19th and 26th Amendments.I think it might be a good thing for folks to review the “Bill of Rights” for a refresher on protests and the right to keep and bear arms.
And as justice Gorsuch affirms, the written words of the US Constitution won't change no matter how crazy media gets.The media is out of control and is actively committing treason every day by refusing to simply be objective.
