Hundreds of pro-gun political activists showed up to an NRA town hall in Roanoke, Virginia, on Friday night as the backlash continues to grow over the plans by Virginia Democrats to enact their far-left agenda aimed at decimating Second Amendment rights.
Sources told The Daily Wire that up to 400 people attended the event, many of whom were women and first time political activists.
The event comes as Virginia Democrats attempt to confiscate legally-owned firearms from law abiding citizens in a move that resembles what communist China has called on the U.S. to do in recent days. China has millions of people locked up in concentration camps, is engaged in forcefully harvesting the organs of detainees, and has instituted a massive surveillance state that it is using to clamp down on the freedoms of its citizens.
The Daily Wire reported last month:
The grassroots resistance to Virginia Democrats’ extreme anti-Second Amendment agenda has exploded as nearly 90% of the counties in the state have declared themselves to be sanctuary cities in response to the Democrats’ anti-freedom agenda.
More than 100 cities, towns, and counties have passed resolutions in preparation for Democrats taking over the state who had indicated a desire to confiscate semi-automatic firearms from law-abiding citizens.
The rapidly growing resistance to Democrats’ attempts to confiscate firearms is expected to reach new levels in a little over a week as thousands of pro-gun Virginians are planning to attend the NRA’s legislative action day in Richmond on January 13.
The event is being held on the 13th at the Virginia State Capitol because that is when the first hearings on the issue start in the Virginia State Senate.
Last night, hundreds of NRA members joined shoulder to shoulder in Roanoke, Virginia to discuss how they will stand and fight against the Northam/Bloomberg gun confiscation plan.

Catherine Mortensen, NRA spokesperson, told The Daily Wire, “We believe it’s best when lawmakers talk directly to voters. We know that NRA members are active and engaged in grassroots activism. The more people out there and sharing the message, that’s a win.”
“The 13th is the first meeting of the Senate Courts of Justice committee. That’s the first committee of jurisdiction on all the Northam gun control,” Mortensen continued. “We want to make sure that our members and supporters are in Richmond at that committee hearing on that day so that their voices are heard. It’s critical that our members are there early in the session to make the biggest impact in order to stop these gun bills from moving forward.”
“We’re trying to get our members directly to their lawmakers. We want our members and supporters having those face-to-face meetings with their lawmakers,” Mortensen added. “We know that law-abiding gun owners are active and engaged. And they may be members of several different groups. This gives them additional opportunities to engage in grassroots activism, and that is all positive. If numerous groups are out there and sharing the message, that’s a win.”
“The NRA is focused on encouraging our members and supporters to be active and engaged with their legislators from the first day of the session to the last,” Mortensen concluded. “The NRA will have a strong presence at the Capitol throughout the legislative session, but we know it’s the voice and the presence of our members that carry the most weight with lawmakers.”
Satan hates having Light shown upon him exposing his misdeeds and hypocrisies. Stay honest, keep your integrity and maintain your relationship with God.
Praying with Love for an evil person is their greatest fear. These prayers are as though you are placing hot coals upon their heads. Keep the Light on them.
Looking at it from a militia perspective, young people have their entire lives to look forward to. A militia group of seasoned “DO NOT GAF” patriots sniping from behind every tree and blade of grass? That’s not a level of resolve I’d want to face in this specific kind of conflict.
They would be identifiable on their way to and even more importantly, returning FROM gun confiscation raids.
That is convoys of police cars and LE SUVs.

Perhaps - but the more youthful ones wouldn’t be there without the examples and tutelage of the elders..kind of shows respect to allow the elders be in the van.
At least that’s the point of view of this “elder” 67 year old.
Old guys are better. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
Plus they don’t care as much about having a long happy life.
The NrA has been pretty quiet in Virginia actually. It mostly is an occupational licensing organization, not a rights organization.
Looks like a Klan rally. /sarc
Nothing will convince NoVA RINOs to vote for a non RINO no GOPe candidate. Sorry to say that....
Nowadays it is worse with the young freaks.
A psychoanalist said that the difference between older and younger generations back then was like between a Rotweiller and a Chihuahua. Different generarions but sibblings ribbing each other non the less.
Nowadays it is more like the difference between a shark and a goat. Young people are actually creepy and alienating. Their whole self destructive impulses of the Lgbt and what not is unprecedented in youth as an advocacy. The alien agent is basically a satanic being completely foreign to humans , and it is exploitating and destroying humans. It makes absolutely no sense.
Let's leave their families out of this, mmkay?

glad you’ve got it all planned out. civil warfare may not go according to your plan. “
There is still the deepstate behind the scenes...
Forgive me for that post.
I’m going through a Severe mid life crisis at 51 and I like to make believe I’m closer to 30 than 70!!!
Do people here really think I bought a Dodge Challenger at 50 just because I love it!?! :)
You get that queasy feeling that you didn’t accomplish nearly as much as you thought you were gonna and then you dive hear first into denial :)
If you didn’t consider you a great guy and pretty dam sharp, I would not send this post to you.
i ENVY men in their 60s and 70s who are comfortable in what they have done and look forward to what they’ve yet to do
What I did is buy a cherry red Mustang and it helped some..
Are you serious or joking with me? :)
Great choice if it’s true!
My other sports cars were small and i’m not so great at parking this challenger.
Don’t even know if a challenger is a sports are or a speed car.
Cause it can’t handle curves AT ALL like a Mustang or Camaro...
Go for it from a Yankee in New Jersey!
You bought a Challenger?
Yeah. I love it in many ways but there are some things I don’t.
I had my 'stang lowered too.
