President Trump on Friday warned of an “attack” on the Second Amendment after Virginia Democrats curtailed access for firearms at the state capitol.
“Your 2nd Amendment is under very serious attack in the Great Commonwealth of Virginia. That’s what happens when you vote for Democrats, they will take your guns away. Republicans will win Virginia in 2020. Thank you Dems!” Trump tweeted.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 17, 2020 ADVERTISEMENT The tweet comes after state legislators voted last week to ban firearms at the state Capitol and Gov. Ralph Northam (D-Va.) declared a state of emergency to temporarily ban individuals from carrying weapons on its grounds.
Both moves came before a gun rights rally planned for next week that is expected to draw armed protesters and a mass of counter-protesters, raising fears of clashes between the two crowds.
Northam said in his statement declaring the emergency that his office had received credible intelligence of “threats of violence” surrounding the demonstration that included “extremist rhetoric” similar to that surrounding the deadly Unite the Right white supremacist rally in Charlottesville in 2017.
The Virginia Citizens Defense League, the organizers of the rally, has said that the demonstration will draw thousands to the area. The group's Facebook event page indicates that more than 5,000 say they will attend.
"We support citizens’ rights to peacefully protest and express their views to their elected officials," said Northam. "But we must also keep the public, as well as those who work around Capitol Square, safe."

GUNS & TYRANTS
Virginia Citizens, the following is how to handle the tyrants in your midst.
DECOYS
Military strategy uses decoys to confound the enemy. Decoys offer a powerful advantage through rightful deception. There are fake weapons used as decoys; decoy vehicles, decoy missiles, decoy armaments, as well as general camouflage. Decoys historically can be ten times more numerous than real weapons.
Decoy Guns are as such:
1) Toy guns 2) Gun Cases either hard or soft fabric types 3) Sticks in an ‘L’ shape covered by cloth fabric 4) Semi concealed objects within the clothes 5) pictures & adhesive fabric or metal in an ‘L’ shape. Be creative.
Just as “looks like” characteristics enable gradations of gun banning, so to, gradations of gun & rifle decoys make gun rallies safe & peaceful.
Decoy guns provide valuable cover for anonymous real armed Patriots. They thwart & make identifying real weapons very difficult, if not impossible.
How would a National Guardsman, or a Federal Police know the difference between a real or decoy weapon?
4th Amendment search & seizure MUST be violated to identify real arms from decoys.
1st Amendment Right of Assembly MUST be violated to deny toy guns to fun loving people.
Lastly, no Police wants to second guess which are decoys, and which are not. They too, just want to go home safely to their own family.
Communist Tyrants historically rely upon 1) a separate hardened violent & foreign police group to murder people and do it 2) under the cover of darkness.
This is not a likely scenario.
Therefore, like a chess game, the strategic advantage is greatly with Patriots who use Decoys, just as every military encounter has used Decoys, since the dawn of conflict, and even to the likely end of peaceful victory.
VICTORY
Basically, no Politician wants innocent blood to be shed on their watch. It is the end of their career.
Use many Decoys for a successful, safe and peaceful victory.
The Dems are not going to all of a sudden, have an epiphany that the 2A is an inalienable right given by God after a one day demonstration. There is a generational opportunity here. It would be ashamed to waste it in front of a biased press.
The adversary needs ONE big slip up. There is nothing the adversary can do at the county level when full of patriots.
Federal intervention on the 2nd amendment? Love to see that.
The executive order would be challenged.
Northlib is a idiot. Guns keep the citizens safe. Open/conceal carry in my state without permit, and a very low murder rate.
Oh yeah because the constitutional rights of even alleged gun holders will be completely respected. :)
I would pass on taking that chance.
Carrying Real guns is their right.
Northam is doing the exact set up Terry McAuliffe did with Charlotsville. If a few people get killed all the better. These people are evil.
“Lexington and Concord”
Or
“Battle of the Crater!”
The rally in Richmond has all the hallmarks of a set-up. Yes, the current government has far overstepped the bounds of the rule of law and are deeply within the current flowing towards full tyranny. Yes, the people have a right to object to and protest this abuse of liberty and freedom. Unfortunately, the state government, the liars in the media, and the paid provocateurs lurking behind the scenes have control of the situation on the ground and will manipulate this situation to manufacture the optics they want to create.
I lived through the Ferguson riots and saw how these despicable people act. Ferguson has not been in the national news for a long time. Why? Because the good guys won. Unlike Baltimore and other places that have been subjected to these attacks on the freedom of the individual, Ferguson is recovering nicely from the assaults of five years ago. Why was Ferguson not destroyed by these Alinskyite attacks? The amount of prayer cover over this city was astronomical.
The evil players in the unfolding Richmond saga are expecting this battle to go according to their script. Their plan is for freedom-loving and defending citizens to walk into a trap that will provide the opportunity for a horrific false-flag attack. Don’t give them that victory. While I am very aware of the overall tactics of Alinsky disciples, I know nothing about the specifics of the city of Richmond. However, I am confident that there are a large number of Bible-believing churches (not liberation theology, SJW fronts) in the Richmond area.
The best, on-the-fly reaction to the steps taken by the unfortunately legally elected government of Virginia is to switch the rally from being held in the Northam-devised kill box to the various churches, coffee shops, hotel lobbies, and other sites in the area. I saw God do things that were impossible for the good citizens of Ferguson to do and the results were amazing. God loves Richmond just as much as He does Ferguson and, if His people will ask, He will provide incredible answers.
Multiple gatherings of Bible-believing, God-trusting patriots, in diverse places away from the pre-planned targeted area, will produce a countermove to Northam’s evil plans in such a way that the country will be astounded. By all means, go to Richmond and make your voices heard. Just don’t walk into a pre-planned kill zone. Join with other believers (Where two or more are gathered in my Name, I am there, too) and ask God to intervene in ways you cannot. You will witness miracles.
“Ferguson has not been in the national news for a long time. Why?”
TWENTY FIVE TOP QUOTES FROM THE DOJ’S REPORT ON THE MICHAEL BROWN SHOOTING
(For official DOJ report, Google “DOJ Report on Shooting of Michael Brown PDF.”)
[01] The evidence, when viewed as a whole, does not support the conclusion that Wilson’s uses of deadly force were “objectively unreasonable” under the Supreme Court’s definition. (Page 5)
[02] when the store clerk tried to stop Brown, Brown used his physical size to stand over him and forcefully shove him away. (Page 6)
[03] Wilson was aware of the theft and had a description of the suspects as he encountered Brown and Witness 101. (Page 6)
[04] Autopsy results and bullet trajectory, skin from Brown’s palm on the outside of the SUV door as well as Brown’s DNA on the inside of the driver’s door corroborate Wilson’s account that during the struggle, Brown used his right hand to grab and attempt to control Wilson’s gun. (Page 6)
[05] there is no credible evidence to disprove Wilson’s account of what occurred inside the SUV. (Page 7)
[06] autopsy results confirm that Wilson did not shoot Brown in the back as he was running away because there were no entrance wounds to Brown’s back. (Page 7)
[07] witnesses who originally stated Brown had his hands up in surrender recanted their original accounts (Page 8)
[08] several witnesses stated that Brown appeared to pose a physical threat to Wilson as he moved toward Wilson. (Page 8)
[09] The physical evidence also establishes that Brown moved forward toward Wilson after he turned around to face him. The physical evidence is corroborated by multiple eyewitnesses. (Page 10)
[10] evidence does not establish that it was unreasonable for Wilson to perceive Brown as a threat while Brown was punching and grabbing him in the SUV and attempting to take his gun. (Page 11)
[11] Wilson’s account is corroborated by physical evidence and that his perception of a threat posed by Brown is corroborated by other eyewitnesses (Page 12)
[12] Wilson’s account was consistent with those results, and consistent with the accounts of other independent eyewitnesses, whose accounts were also consistent with the physical evidence. Wilson’s statements were consistent with each other in all material ways, and would not be subject to effective impeachment for inconsistencies or deviation from the physical evidence.8 Therefore, in analyzing all of the evidence, federal prosecutors found Wilson’s account to be credible. (Page 16)
[13] Witness accounts suggesting that Brown was standing still with his hands raised in an unambiguous signal of surrender when Wilson shot Brown are inconsistent with the physical evidence, are otherwise not credible because of internal inconsistencies, or are not credible because of inconsistencies with other credible evidence. (Page 78)
[14] Multiple credible witnesses corroborate virtually every material aspect of Wilson’s account and are consistent with the physical evidence. (Page 78)
[15] several of these witnesses stated that they would have felt threatened by Brown and would have responded in the same way Wilson did. (Page 82)
[16] there are no witnesses who could testify credibly that Wilson shot Brown while Brown was clearly attempting to surrender. (Page 83)
[17] There is no witness who has stated that Brown had his hands up in surrender whose statement is otherwise consistent with the physical evidence. (Page 83)
[18] The media has widely reported that there is witness testimony that Brown said “don’t shoot” as he held his hands above his head. In fact, our investigation did not reveal any eyewitness who stated that Brown said “don’t shoot.” (Page 83)
[19] Wilson did not know that Brown was not armed at the time he shot him, and had reason to suspect that he might be when Brown reached into the waistband of his pants as he advanced toward Wilson. (Page 84)
[20] Wilson did not have time to determine whether Brown had a gun and was not required to risk being shot himself in order to make a more definitive assessment.
[21] In addition, even assuming that Wilson definitively knew that Brown was not armed, Wilson was aware that Brown had already assaulted him once and attempted to gain control of his gun. (Page 85)
[22] Wilson has a strong argument that he was justified in firing his weapon at Brown as he continued to advance toward him and refuse commands to stop, and the law does not require Wilson to wait until Brown was close enough to physically assault Wilson. (Page 85)
[23] we must avoid substituting our personal notions of proper police procedure for the instantaneous decision of the officer at the scene. We must never allow the theoretical, sanitized world of our imagination to replace the dangerous and complex world that policemen face every day.” (Page 85)
[24] “It may appear, in the calm aftermath, that an officer could have taken a different course, but we do not hold the police to such a demanding standard.” (citing Gardner v. Buerger, 82 F.3d 248, 251 (8th Cir. 1996) (same))). Rather, where, as here, an officer points his gun at a suspect to halt his advance, that suspect should be on notice that “escalation of the situation would result in the use of the firearm.” Estate of Morgan at 498. An officer is permitted to continue firing until the threat is neutralized. See Plumhoff v. Rickard, 134 S.Ct. 2012, 2022 (2014) (“Officers need not stop shooting until the threat has ended”). For all of the reasons stated, Wilson’s conduct in shooting Brown as he advanced on Wilson, and until he fell to the ground, was not objectively unreasonable and thus not a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 242. (Page 85)
[25] Given that Wilson’s account is corroborated by physical evidence and that his perception of a threat posed by Brown is corroborated by other eyewitnesses, to include aspects of the testimony of Witness 101, there is no credible evidence that Wilson willfully shot Brown as he was attempting to surrender or was otherwise not posing a threat. (Page 86)
For the reasons set forth above, this matter lacks prosecutive merit and should be closed.
Yeah, this is just a trap.
My advice would be to ring the controlled area, do not go in.
As soon as you hit some perimeter of theirs stop and spread out laterally.
Let the tee-tee’s go in and stand around looking at each other.
If the LEOs are set up to cover the controlled areas this will totally sidestep any “plans” they may have concocted.
Folks with decent cameras should photograph the LEO’s lift and shift attempts and then immediately withdraw and preserve the photographs and video.
.
The MSM has the stories written, ready to go with an added detail or two.
Thanks for the documentation clearly defining the lies and distortions surrounding Ferguson. We were the test run for future actions of this sort. Richmond is the upcoming target. They’re using similar tactics of deception to create trouble in Richmond; prayer worked in Ferguson, it will work in Richmond.
Excellent post.
You understand basic principles of military strategy.
To miss the wisdom of your post is foolishness.
He is doing more than talking about it and I would not be surprised if he has a surprise or two up his sleeve to deal with trouble makers.
It is not going to go by their script and is highly likely to become a disaster of epic proportions for them.
Well said!
He sure is and unfortunately for him there is going to be flies in the ointment and bees that are going to sting!
Time for a Trump rally in Richmond.
