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

I didn’t know the socialists pushed all these bills, unbelievable. I guess we know their plans for crushing the “enemy” and seizing & keeping control.

The article posted from the Harvard Law Review yesterday (adding states, hobbling senate, nixing electoral college...) sounds a lot less crazy when you consider what is in motion.

It’s hard to believe the people of Va. are protesting their governor. I thought they loved voting in a Democratic government. Maybe they are drinking some of Limpdick Durbin’s lemonade. The people voted in Northam, now live with him and quit complaining. Just give up your guns and be good voters as he demands.

Unreal how their outright cheating, implemented through their own, biased legislation, continues unfettered.

Thanks for the excellent recap.

“A big empty field. Surrounded by 30,000 people clogging the streets. All armed.”

VCDL has specifically asked that at least some members attend without firearms so they can get onto the grounds. They have done such a great job organizing this I will take them at their word (we got your back). I like the idea of 30,000 2nd amendment supporters no matter where they are standing.

That, to me, is the choice Northam faces today. Does he really want the TV cameras to televise a big empty field and tens off thousands of armed people clogging up downtwon streets? Or take down the corral and let things proceed as planned in an orderly fashion.

Democrats want you dead, folks and they do not care how you end up dead. For now, they use lawfare and hope death by police officer is the result. and how many police officers are all too willing to murder a citizen and then make up a story about how that citizen “was a threat” and had to be terminated?

Remember, democrats demand the free and unfettered murdering of babies to be legal.

The weirdness factor IMHO comes from the North. A major urban college campus chock full of purple hair freaks with facial piercings. I suspect a serious police presence along Broad Street to keep the freaks on campus. It’s a holiday, no classes, college campus. Could get weird.

Maybe I should be less subtle. Stay away from the campus to the North.

Here in Va Beach we are already seeing TV ads for our Dem first-term congresswoman telling us how wonderful she is, of course funded from outside the state. It never ends.

Perhaps every group attending should display their CCW permits when they meet up. Then they stick together knowing that they’re among the verified good guys.
Somehow, I doubt antifa has CCW permits being that they’re a bunch of criminals.

Just a thought.

I am going to take a wild guess and say that he might even have law enforcement and the guard actually try and force all those outside into the corral or be arrested. This would be a huge mistake in both action and image. The most important weapon to carry and keep charged up at this event will be video cameras. Document every violation of constitutional rights from authority they can and get them on Bitchute where they will not be taken down or blocked.

They can only do that if we allow them to. Reacting by denying puts them, the left & MSM, in the drivers seat. Always reacting to accusations instead of ignoring & advancing or even ridiculing their BS. It is how the left operates because it works. Constantly keeping the right on its heels with regards to this race crap and it is time the right ignores it. As long as conservatives run around in circles about it they, the left, can do what they want. Best thing to do is not react to the constant claim of being evil whites. In fact tell them to shove it.

Funny how that works. They gerrymandered the 4th District also costing us a great and very senior R Congressman (Randy Forbes).

Be Careful.

I was told over a month ago by someone well connected that they were planning for “something” to happen.

Exactly.

It’s like this VA is the trailer for life in the US should the dems take the presidency and the House and Senate.

Part of VA goes to DC. That bolsters DC statehood. +1 for dems. VA and WVA merge. +1 for reps. What is left of VA and WVA remain separate states. +2 for reps.

Let them have those northern counties and become a state. What is left of VA remains a smaller state. New VA has to clamp down on zoning and transportation. Make sure the libs can’t invade

Typical ignorant rant.

You are totally ignoring the blowback from this election.

Not everyone is a blue state voted this guy in nor deserves it. Cities control the statewide elections and when the votes are tallied, the 95 % of the state that’s opposing this is screwed.

Why don’t you go over to DU where you belong where that kind of ignorance and callousness is the norm?
