Virginia Governor Sets a Trap for Lobby Day, 20 January, 2020

Virginia Governor Sets a Trap for Lobby Day, 20 January, 2020

Second Amendment supporters face a daunting challenge in Virginia for Lobby day, at the Virginia Capitol in Richmond, on 20 January 2020.  Those who wish to disarm Virginians have created a trap to frame Second Amendment Supporters as violent white supremacists, going to Richmond to destroy duly elected government.

Do not take the bait.

Armed Virginians have been going to the State Capitol in Richmond to lobby to restore Second Amendment rights since 2002. The Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) has been very successful in these efforts. VCDL was instrumental in moving Virginia from a may issue to a shall-issue state in 1995. It has made the shall-issue law better and better by such things as eliminating many gun-free zones and eliminating the requirement for fingerprints to obtain a permit to carry. It has kept improving the state preemption law, to prevent local governments from chipping away at Second Amendment rights.  It has been one of the most effective of the state organizations working to restore Second Amendment rights.

In 2019, a combination of a lawsuit used to gerrymander Virginia voting districts in favor of Democrats, millions of dollars of money spent by billionaires aimed at destroying Second Amendment rights, the influx of immigrants to areas next to the District of Columbia, the successful get out to vote campaign by supporters of Communist China for new immigrants, and the restoration of voting rights, but not the right to arms, to convicted felons, has resulted in the Democrat takeover of the Virginia General Assembly and the Senate, by Democrats who have vowed to impose severe restrictions on the exercise of Second Amendment

The left has been on the offense too long and we’ve been playing nice too long.

It’s time to stand up to the bullies and take action before they do.

Being *nice* will be the death of us.

It’s all a fantastically wild idea but I do think it has a much stronger case than the libtard’s plans to kill the Electoral College or pack the SCOTUS.

This 2A rally in Richmond has a been a setup by the Left from the very beginning. Even earlier than the beginning. It's been in motion for years.

I believe one of the reasons Governor Ralph Northam (blackface scandal) and Lt. Governor, Justin Fairfax, (sexual assault allegations) remained in office, even though there was solid evidence that would have brought down any other politicians, was because they were players the Left wanted in place to carry this phony baloney 2A set up off. Without them, the Left would have had to start over looking for the right actors to play the roles needed in this gun-grab scenario.

All that was needed after that was for Soros and Bloomberg money to pour into the state, along with some customary democRATic voter fraud, to flip Virginia from the red column to the blue column in the last election.

Now the Left has the players and the politics in place to carry out their gun-grab circus. First announce right away that they are going after the law-abiding citizens guns and jail them if necessary to confiscate their guns.

Next, go over the top in announcing the rules of engagement for the Lobby Day rally in Richmond. Federal surveillance, emergency orders of no guns allowed, make it an ambush or trap the 2A Right can't resist. This it to make the gun owners look to be the bad guys, not the law-abiding voters of the state.

All of this to justify their tyrannical plans to control the Virginia population by taking their guns away from them, the long sought wet dream of the Left.

This is all out of the democRAT playbook and is meant to be a test case for doing this in other states around the country. Like I said, this has been in the planning stages for years and now they're ready to spring the plan into action.

I was unaware of those changes to the laws of Virginia.

This reminds me of the way South American countries go full communist. Changes to the constitution and laws giving advantage to the ruling party.

To contribute to Pres Trump's re-election campaign without giving money to the RNC:

When you contribute to "Trump Make America Great Again Committee,"
25% goes to the RNC; 75% goes to "Donald J. Trump for President, Inc."

The Left, including Democrats, are hoping for Charlotte II, and are counting on their ANTIFA allies to “take care of business”.

Yes an uneventful event would be a victory for those who support the 2A. Supposedly Antifa has several busses rented and actors have already been hired to come and cause problems. Also we see how white supremacist have supposedly been arrested ahead of the event. Setting the stage to portray the 2A supporters as white supremacist. I pray it will be uneventful, but the left orchestrated Charlottesville and then blamed those who supported the monuments. So I expect more of that tomorrow. Praying that things go well.

Also don’t want to take secession off the table as WV may offer that. Virginia is now ruled by 3 or 4 counties in the North. It’s time the state was broken up.Let the leftist have the beltway area.

"I expect a boring uneventful event. So much damn hype."

You are incredibly optimistic. I hope you have a long life with a sunny disposition; however, there will be violence IMO because the Left and the Deep State want violence, the script has already been written. Look at some of the reports elsewhere on FR. The airspace above Richmond has been closed to civilian drones, a special operations electronic command and surveillance aircraft was spotted orbiting the city, Antifa is coming (probably wearing NRA and MAGA gear, the FBI is active and has already made arrests of of alleged white supremacists, there was an arrest of Canadians trying to cross the Northern border to come to VA to commit an attack, etc. The narrative has been set and the authorities on the left are in on it. The only way to defeat this is to not show up and do something else instead away from urban Richmond. Northam and company will be happy to cause violence, including extreme violence. Some dead 2A supporters along with a few "innocent counter protesters" will be perfect for the narrative and also great to throw into the President's impeachment trial which begins the next day.

I am compelled to point out that this is PRECISELY what happens when LIEberals win elections!

In 2020, we MUST get the word out that:

A VOTE FOR ANY DEMOCRAT, AT ANY LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT, IS A VOTE AGAINST AMERICA!

I think the correct move for the VCDL would have been to organize several “combat-style” shooting events on the same day in rural parts of the state — enough that everyone who wants to watch/participate would be within a 2 hr drive. Invite the local media. Video, and post to social Media. This way you avoid the dualing protest problem and you show off your biggest deterrent — firepower. You also show the LEO community the potential for organizing.

A boring, uneventful event would be a significant win for Second Amendment supporters.

Tens of thousands of armed 2A supporters congregating without incident would be a nightmare for gun control nuts.

You’re an idiot.

President James Polk signed the legislation returning Alexandria to Virginia on July 9, 1846.

A regular law.

So, another law can undo it.

They will invite a bunch of nazis... then take pictures of the 2a supporters standing next to the nazis. Then they will use antifa to agitate them into a conflict.... just like in Charlottesville.

It is all an attempt to paint 2a supporters as violent and dangerous.
