Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam declared a temporary emergency Wednesday banning all weapons, including guns, from Capitol Square ahead of a massive rally planned next week over gun rights.



Emergency Declared: Governor bans weapons at Virginia State Capitol ( 07:51 )

The news came Tuesday night according to two state officials who were briefed on the plans but not authorized to speak publicly about them.

One official says the Democratic governor announced the plans because of credible threats of potential violence and extremism.

This comes days after lawmakers voted to ban firearms at the Capitol, saying the move was needed to protect public safety.

AP reports Friday’s ban did not include Capitol grounds, which are under the governor’s control.

The governor’s declaration will also reportedly ban items like helmets and shields, which are what some white nationalists carried in the Charlottesville protest in 2017.

It is unknown how long the temporary ban will be in effect.

“...credible threats of potential violence and extremism”

[Bon mots]

Wow... we posted almost the exact same thing seconds apart! :)

[heshtesh]

How about law enforcement?

This half a faggot looking geek is causing all this trouble.

I never saw his face before. He looks like a fruit.

And I see “hate groups” and “white nationalists” will be used a million times in the news the next few days.

If they want to keep calling us that, and they put our backs to the wall, they might get more than they bargained for.

GMTA!....................

Shall not be infringed.

[Does so]

Would showing-up in blackface send a message?

[ThunderSleeps]

So now exercising our Constitutionally protected rights is "extremism?"

This Gov. is exactly why the BOR was written.

[metmom]

I wonder if that includes his personal body guards.

[Truth29]

Yes, and Northam and other Leftist agents will be motivated to cause violence and try to link it to President Trump just prior to the opening of the impeachment trial in the Senate.

[PilotDave]

Law enforcement will be coordinating the false flag event..

[tennmountainman]

Bring 2x4’s and spiked chains.

[ducttape45]

Just, “WOW.” This man is instigating a full out civil war in Virginia isn’t he? This may not end well for him!

[mass55th]

They should all go in black face.

If you haven’t seen this, you might be interested.

[PilotDave]

Everyone should show up in blackface and klan outfits. LOL

[Yosemitest]

I guess we both get “theBlaze” updates.
