Coonman said they have intel on credible threats. If so, they should intercept those they have intel on in advance, not infringe on the rights of protestors. Looks like another Terry McAuliffe set up in the works.

Actually, I think it kinda tells you what they are worried about - and the REAL reason they want to ban guns. Like I've said in the past:

...every politician knows the real reason for the second amendment; that's why they want to ban guns...

Then hold the rallies on the rooftops within 400 yards of the Capital. Perhaps with “optics” to help see the Capital better...

Avoid sidewalks and narrow one-way streets.

Precisely.

Northam is the perfect poster child for 2nd Amendment rights. A clueless, power-mad politician.

One of the purposes of the 2nd Amendment is to prevent tyranny. In as much as the Governor and Legislative body is taking away (or limiting) VA citizen’s Constitutional rights - I hope they are a little concerned about the protesters.

Yes. The Redcoats are allowed to have guns. The Colonials, on the other hand, cannot be trusted with such things.

Everyone should go unarmed, but carrying an empty magazine, preferably a high cap AR 15 or AK style.

That will send the message.

WAR is about deception and concealing from enemy.

Bring your guns anyways.

Bring decoy guns.

Bring gun cases, with or without guns.

Bring masks, wear or not wear.

1) Decoy gun. No mask.
2) Decoy gun. With mask.
3) Real gun. With mask.
4) Real gun. No mask.
5) Concealed gun.
6) Report others as concealed, without gun.

Make them guess.
Make it difficult on your enemy just as in war.

Bring lots of decoy rifles and guns.
