True. He said if it was fixed, then anyone could have one.

On Your Side asked Lewis if the rifle he was photographed carrying was legal in New York.

"Obviously the one that I have is legal" he said. "I own it legally under my business, I am a federal firearms licensee."

If an average citizen wanted that firearm, it would be illegal under the SAFE Act, unless modifications were made to it.

"If the magazine cannot be readily removed it's legal" said Lewis.

Some people argued Lewis shouldn't have walked around the rally with such a deadly weapon, but he said he did it because he can.
 
Two related news items that struck me were ;

ANTIFA declined to counter rally,...........maybe they are not completely stupid?

............and the trash was picked up all around the capitol by the marchers. The TV showed some before and after and dang, there might be some city council folks that would like this to be a permanent event...... LOL!!

Citizens, one and all
 
Technically there was one arrest, wearing a mask in public, listed as a felony??? is this a VA law? later released.

But I would say you point still stands. very successful rally IMO, our message was strongly delivered in a peaceful fashion.

From what I can tell, I don't believe she was part of the rally and likely isn't even pro 2A. She was arrested several blocks from from the capital, after the rally was technically over. What is really telling is the alleged quote from the "friend" she was with:

A man with her then appears to mock the police for focusing on Beschler’s bandanna in light of the rally happening nearby.

“Way to keep our city safe guys while there’s Nazis and terrorists around here,” the man says. “Way to keep our city safe. We’re from Richmond.”

technically, that incident happened 2 hours after the event was over.

but it still points out how stupid some laws are and the state is the one who looks bad.

I reckon it wasn't a stupid law when it was enacted. It seems that it was brought about back in the violent and active days of the KKK. It's outdated now though. IMHO felonies and laws that carry a jail sentence should have a sunset clause after so many years, and at that time, there should be a vote on whether to renew them.

It was a good law back then and still, especially when these antifa want to run around assaulting people with masks on to hide their identity.

But a felony though? I think that's the main issue everyone has with the law... It should be civil if that... IMHO, no otherwise law abiding citizen should be facing legal ramifications for covering their face in below freezing weather.
 
when i was riding a city bus to the state house, i saw several locals on their monday morning commute wearing masks due to the cold. it seemed like common sense and i was surprised when i heard someone was arrested for it

I'm just glad it wasn't one of us... It would have been even worse if it was one of us who were from out of state... Firearms would have been confiscated, and they would have been banned from them and ammo until the case was settled at least...

Coveting your face while committing a crime is different than simply covering your face while on your walk to work.
 
And.....I was right. Northam has claimed victory and is receiving praise for defusing a potentially violent scene. Typical of the left.
The extreme dems I know would congratulate each other for warming up the room by opening the door to hell... There is no logic in them. Really glad this rally went off without a hitch, the before and after pics were quite telling compared to a liberal rally.

I'm a Liberal (Not a Social Democrat which is the farthest thing from) and don't believe the Government has the right to make anything they want illegal. If it doesn't directly harm another human being it's none of the Governments business.
 
It was about 22 degrees, with a stiff breeze, in the morning. I froze my cluster up. But I was up
from Florida, to support our brothers in Virginia. It was a lot like a Texas BBQ or a large church social.
All those guns, and I felt safe as in the womb.

The governor had the capitol complex all fenced up, looking like a Concentration Camp. Strange, how I felt
perfectly safe, an out of state tourist, out on an open street, in a crowd of gun toting Virginians. (Never met a nicer
bunch of folks, BTW) But the Governor, behind fences, walls,
and hundreds of armed guards, didn't feel safe, on the day he was surrounded by the people he represents.

Anybody else from THR attend ?
 
I did. Stayed comfortable, except my toes got cold right around noon. No issues, people were extremely polite, overheard a guy who flew in from Alaska for the event. Saw a lot of kitted out individuals, some jeans-and-flannel types, some suit-and-ties, people of every color, creed, and walk of life, all united in their defense of Liberty. A very proud moment.
 
A friend of mine has a Barrett. It's *heavy*. I always tell him he needs to screw a wheel to the stock to tow it behind him. (he weighs about 140#)

That dude in Virginia looks like a stereotype Chairborne Commando, but if he carried that thing from early morning to the end of the rally, that's nobody I want to arm wrestle.

I love the 2nd to last Rambo movie where they are in the dense jungle and the sniper's weapon of choice is the Barrett .50.
 
My eldest son works at that guy's Guns Store-The Firing Pin- and they're coming out with T-Shirts and stuff like that, from what I hear, to "commemorate" this event.
