Since last November 6’s election that gave control of Virginia’s entire state government to Democrats, led by pro-abort Gov. Ralph Northam (D), Democrats have been on a tear to impose gun control. See:
- Elections have consequences: ‘Blue’ Virginia goes whole hog for gun control
- ‘Blue’ Virginia State Senate bill to confiscate ‘assault firearms’
- ‘Blue’ Virginia senate bill to ban firearm and martial arts instruction
In response is a massive backlash by Virginia gun owners, who have formed Second Amendment sanctuaries and militias against the anticipate gun grab. As of January 14, 2020, 130 counties and cities have passed sanctuary measures.
On Monday, January 20, some 22,000 patriots rallied at the state capitol in Richmond, VA, to lobby their legislators not to vote away Virginians’ Second Amendment-guaranteed gun rights.
There were rumors that Antifa planned to disrupt the rally. Indeed, according to a tweet by a rally participant @StoodAlive, Antifa were there, but they likely chickened out because of the massive show of force by patriots:
There are some ANTIFA members in the crowd posing as Trump supporters who are planning to start violence in-order for the media to blame Republicans and paint us as violent.
According to Getty Images, the Revolutionary Communist Party were the only counter protesters who attended the rally. Only one arrest was made — a female who police say repeatedly ignored their warnings to remove a mask that she was wearing, which means she likely was an Antifa.
Notwithstanding the hate-America media’s efforts to paint the rally as “white racist/nationalist/
Below are photo images from the rally as testimony (sources: Richmond Times Dispatch; Daily Wire).
We begin with this pic that brought tears to my eyes:
One look at this pic, you’ll totally understand why Antifa punks chickened out:
Sheriffs showed their support!
Blacks showed up in large numbers, a fact that went widely under-reported by the media. Some of them were armed.
One black Second Amendment supporter told Breitbart News:
“I do not support in any way, shape, or form Governor Northam’s and the Democrats’ gun control. What I also don’t support is the fact that every news piece you’ve seen this weekend they’ve always brought up the issue of race as though it’s nothing but white rednecks and hillbillies out here who care for the Second Amendment, when actually black Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, Americans in general care about the Second Amendment. I work a gun store part-time and I can’t tell you the number of customers I see of all races, all colors, all creeds, who care about the Second Amendment and who just peaceably live their lives, enjoy their rights and the Second Amendment. So, that’s why I’m out here and big media, mainstream media be damned, if you take a good look at me you can see that I’m a black American and all I’m out here for is to enjoy my Second Amendment rights. That’s why I’m here.”
Here’s a Black man stating why he came to the rally:
A Black woman was at the “white supremacist” [eyeroll] rally:
LGBTs were at the rally, carrying the rainbow flag!
Some parents even brought their babies to the peaceful rally:
Hey, Gov. Northam and the Democrat legislators of Virginia, did you get the message loud and clear?

Title of a ZH article: (Link at the end)
Are Virginia Politicians Really So Fragile They’d Pass A Bill Making It Illegal To Criticize Them?
Me…Of course they are…Virginia is snow flake heaven. Could be this is what they did in Newtown, Connecticut to make it near impossible to get any justice.
The essence of the bill and then a final quote from the article.
Threats and harassment of certain officials and property; venue. Provides that certain crimes relating to threats and harassment may be prosecuted in the City of Richmond if the victim is the Governor, Governor-elect, Lieutenant Governor, Lieutenant Governor-elect, Attorney General, or Attorney General-elect, a member or employee of the General Assembly, a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, or a judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia. In addition, threats to damage property may be prosecuted in the City of Richmond if the property is owned by the Commonwealth and located in the Capitol District.

Don’t think it can’t happen in your state.
What’s happening in Virginia is a cautionary tale and political road map for what will soon happen in the rest of the country.
*First, they took over the legislature by redrawing districts and dumping in millions of dollars from out of state.
*Then they began changing the rules so they can’t be recalled.
*Then they began imposing draconian gun control measures.
*Then they set about to make criticism of them illegal.
Could it be any more clear that every step of this was planned ahead of time?

Now, THIS is a rally. There was a time WE could do this in this shining bastion of ‘democracy’….NOW, the places we invade to supposedly spread what we laughingly call democracy do a better job than US….and lo and behold…they want us OUT!
Who could imagine, eh?

If the VA gov’t weren’t planning to do something horrible, there would be no need to go for broke on gun confiscation. It reminds me of what happened in Australia. Australians laid down for the tyranny like a prom date. How gutless of them to be gelded so easily… pretty sad state of affairs manhood wise. And look at the results. Mass invasion of non-Christians in Australia , many whom don’t view rape as a crime, much less morally wrong. Same thing happened all over Europe. Sweden is now the rape capitol of Europe. Parts of France are now called no go zones. It’s so pathetic it makes the blood boil. How many Yanks were blown to bits reclaiming France? Then NATO just lets the next invasion waltz right in without a shot being fired. NATO is irrelevant if they can’t repel an unarmed invasion. What would actually happen if they faced an armed one?
Just hold up a crucifix to the next brain dead zombie that touts “reasonable” gun control measures and start hissing at them
