Virginia governor declares state of emergency following militia threats over gun reforms

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam issued a state of emergency on Wednesday that bars any weapons from the Richmond’s Capitol Square from Friday to Tuesday, after he received credible intelligence that hate groups and armed militias are planning violence at next Monday’s Lobby Day against gun control legislation.

Northam, who discussed the threats at a news conference, said the state’s law enforcement analysis found that the chatter on the internet and other venues mirrored similar messages seen around the time of the 2017 Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally, which left three dead and more than 30 injured

The governor declined to give exact details about the threats and the persons making them, but said that these groups, who were coming from outside of the state, talked about storming the Virginia Capitol.

Now we see the real reason for “Gun Control”
To protect the Political Elite.

That's why it's called Public Serve Us, not public service.

I don’t think there’s any doubt on this one.

“This is so that Antifa and pro democrat thugs can riot without fear of being shot against the peaceful 2nd amendment crowd.”

Antifa is on our side on this one. Yes, this surprised me too.

Shouldn’t that be a picture of John Wilkes Booth about to shoot Lincoln in the head?

Any civil war that starts over our rights being trod upon is a good time to say “ thus always to tyrants”.

Jefferson was so right when he said “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”

You nailed it, brother. If the rats think they can get away with it in VA, they’ll try it everywhere.

What military? You mean state guard?

You mean the men who the federal government pays to go to a federal military base for a federal MOS, subordinate to the federal DoD rules, subject to federal UCMJ, housed and trained in state land using federal weapons, prohibited by federal law for us citizens, with federal penalties for trespassing or other copious amounts of federal laws? Those state troops?

“....The governor declined to give exact details about the threats and the persons making them, but said that these groups, who were coming from outside of the state, talked about storming the Virginia Capitol....”

Some yahoos on line probably did talk trash giving the governor an excuse to issue this blast of hot air in an attempt to suppress legitimate protest and give the false impression he and the legislators are in unusual danger.

People in VA never seem to have understood that elections have consequences.

"This is our future should the dems take the House, Senate, and presidency."

There's hardly anyway to avoid it.. The democrats have managed to bring in millions of third world immigrates that are more then willing to vote for the commies.. Within ten years this is going to be a completely different country and a far more dangerous world from what it was in 2000...

Yet another reminder that that cops are not your friends.

Expect a FALSE FLAG to blame all gun owners.

That way the Governor will have the excuse he needs to go after all the guns.

A good amount of the Civil War was fought and it looks like it will be a battle ground again.

This is why the George Soros voting machines should have never been installed. As soon as they did everything magically goes to the Democrats.

Fake lies, fake news, fake reports. All designed to get the country riled up, the commies/socialist/homos/dimocrats/Iran, all riled up against gun owners. This is where this is going. All anti-gun states and their governors will join this campaign to steal away gun rights and burn the 2d Amendment as UN-communist like document. They want our guns and this is the first step. If this slug slime ball gets away with it, they are all lined up to see if they can. If he wins, it emboldens them to try it. If he gets his @$$ handed to him, they will not try it.
