CWII not far away.

Who cares that much about this from OUTSIDE of Virginia?

No one. If Virginians aren’t thinking of doing it, no one else is, either.

All lies.

[mrsmith]

The media will question NONE of this.

And if there’s a fire in the GA building they’ll support whatever Northam tells them to.

Just as the German media did for Hitler

Screw the Governor. Every attendee just needs to learn how to Naruto Run over the weekend. It worked out so well for those that planned to storm Area 51. A perfect example can be seen here: Naruto Runner Behind Reporter

So as everyone knows in Virginia, January 20 is the VCDL Lobby Day and thousands were planning to show up. Here is the trap the Governor has laid for those who wanted to petition the legislature:

• Show up disarmed and get attacked/murdered by Antifa and blamed for violence
• Show up armed and get arrested / declared felon and blamed for violence
• Don't show up and get ignored

I think the best move now is to hold a rally at some other spot and rail against the Governor's denial of the right to petition the legislature. ("Scared of Virginians!") Then reschedule the capitol visit for another day. Repeat until the Governor stops ordering states of emergency. At the same time, sue and demand that the actually produce evidence of people encouraging violence.

[JonPreston]

the entire thing is looking like a set up. The pro 2a groups should rally anywhere but the capitol.

[Linda Frances]

Set up. Antifia members will play the roll of angry white conservatives.

Have them go to Charleston instead and lobby for the WVA invitation bill to pass.

Give me a Home Depot, and I can equip an army.

And there are thousands where I came from.

There ought to be a clever way around this without provoking a confrontation, because that’s what they want. I suspect they will do all they can to stoke the fires and probably have one of their own masquerading as a gun rights supporter. Don’t be lured into a trap.

[Pollster1]

Amendment I: Congress shall make no law . . . abridging . . . the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The people planned to peaceably assemble to petition the Government for a redress of grievances in response to shockingly unconstitutional proposed legislation infringing on our individual, God-given right to keep and bear arms. The response from the thug in the governor's office? He decided to trample our First Amendment rights alongside the Second Amendment. Totalitarians disgust me.

BREAKING: Virginia Governor Ralph Northam is announcing a temporary emergency -- banning all weapons, including guns, from Capitol Square ahead of Monday's massive gun rights rally; Northam says he fears Charlottesville-style violence - WTVR

Shouldn't he be banning *automobiles*, then? And the Communist/Anarchists (Antifa) ?

[ZULU]

It’s time for the National Guard there to remove this bastard.

[dragnet2]

What a piece of work this guy is. Did they think law abiding people would be good to go, A-OK with having their rights stolen and looted by these Soviet style control freaks?

I’ve watched video of this stooge. I don’t believe a word he says about anything.

[Candor7]

Declaring an Emergency to stop Free Virginians from doing what they want on Lobby Day is like trying to stop a hurricane by pissing into the wind.

Ralph Northam wants to be far , far away. The old buckets of tar and bags of feathers have been rediscovered.

[kingu]

Seems like a very simple solution. Show up armed, get arrested, have one heck of a fun time with the judicial system. Fundamental right given by God is to address our elected leaders with grievances. Also a fundamental right not to do so defenseless.

[tallyhoe]

Where is the tea party?? We need to get out in force..

[kanawa]

2017 Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally, which left three dead

Two deaths were the result of a helicopter crash, not directly related to the 'rally'.

[caww]

This guy loves banning things..... is cozy with Obama and Biden.....as for what he thinks of Pres. Trump Quote..” I think he’s a narcissistic maniac”....

[cranked]

George Mason would be proud.....cause I am sure all of VMI is. /s
