At the first Tea Party protest in GA, a few hundred people showed up. One armed cop disallowed signs on wooden poles and people complied. The second rally, thousands showed up and the cops stood down. Turnout is everything. Thousands should show up with shouldered ARs.

Maybe next time we won’t have to run an election on maps drawn by a UC Irvine professor at the direction of an Obama judge.

My son had a great idea the other night.

Buy thousands of ‘fake’ replica guns and give them away to everyone attending.

RIFLE CASE CONCEALMENT

Anybody can walk around with a Rifle Case, or Gun Case, soft or hard, with gun or a stick.

Push them to random search people in the crowd against the 4th Amendment. Film it! Youtube video.

Conceal your gun, or not gun, inside a rifle case.

VA Gov to Ban Firearms at Capitol — Says Gun Owners Could Turn Rally Into Next Charlottesville
By Pluralist | Jan 15, 2020
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam plans to declare an emergency Wednesday ban on all weapons, including guns, from Capitol Square ahead of a massive rally planned next week over gun rights.

Two anonymous state officials who were briefed on the plans told The Associated Press Tuesday that Northam, a Democrat, seeks to avoid the deadly violence that broke out at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017. Northam plans to hold a news conference Wednesday to announce decision, which is based on credible threats of potential violence and extremism, one of the officials said.

The governor will also ban items like helmets and shields, which some white nationalists carried at the Charlottesville rally, The AP reported. It is not known how long the temporary ban will be in effect.

While I readily admit I cannot read the entire, as I am cubicle bound, I simply cannot agree with what I can read (the snippet on FR).

Too long have we not stood up, too long have we worried about the optics of “what could be”. The reason most politicians do what they do is because there is no push back. I do not care if the entire march is awash in Dixie flags and camo. The people need to stand up.

These politicians, that would usurp our rights, need to be put on notice. Shying away from this, and hoping that some court someday may overturn, or that someday the pols will be voted out and the law will become null and void, is the path already traveled, and it has gotten us nowhere.

Stand tall Virginians, we are with you.

I was planning on attending, I’m usually off on Mondays.
I have been added to the schedule to work, anticipating big gun sales that day.

This faux guv is more of a threat to Virginia than a law-abiding Citizen carrying a firearm. What a fascist, racist loser. Typical lefty loser.

Well, I would submit that selling other fine Americans guns, on the day of the rally, it probably the next best thing to being there!

Everyone wear an empty holster, open-carried. That will get the point across without arrests, and put the snowflakes’ panties in a twist.

Do that anywhere that carry is illegal or otherwise forbidden; fill the holsters with copies of the second amendment.
