Thousands of NRA supporters turned out at Virginia's capitol building on Monday in a show of opposition that pushed Democrats in the state legislature to moderate or abandon some of their strictest gun-control proposals.

"We are beyond impressed by today's turnout," D.J. Spiker, Virginia state director for the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action, told the Washington Free Beacon. "You can see the passion and enthusiasm that the citizens of Virginia have in joining us in this fight."

  2. Misleading title.
    Did they or didn't they?
    "This lede is very misleading. That’s not what happened at all, and the Virginia lawmakers couldn’t care less what the NRA or its members think."

  4. Our :esteemed" governor is rolling out "emergency" powers ahead of a scheduled 2nd Amendment Rally in Richmond scheduled for hte 20th. He is signing bans on weapons, helmets, shields, and other "radical" weaponry from State Legislature grounds. https://www.wavy.com/news/politics/virginia-politics/ap-exclusive-northam-to-ban-guns-from-capitol-grounds/
    Fearing a repeat of the deadly violence that engulfed Charlottesville more than two years ago, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam plans to declare a temporary emergency Wednesday banning all weapons, including guns, from Capitol Square ahead of a massive rally planned next week over gun rights."

    1. The guy whose car hit/killed the girl as he was under attack was convicted. What a travesty of justice.

  6. What Blackface is planning on doing. I hope the turn-out will
    not be a disappointment:















    “Everything from sticks and bats to chains and projectiles…. The list also includes firearms. It makes no sense to ban every other weapon but allow firearms when intelligence shows that armed militia groups plan to storm the Capitol.” (source)

    An extremely popular Facebook post that has been shared thousands of times reads:

    So Virginia introduces a bundle of radical laws to destroy 2A rights, militias, sale transfer and registration bills, and the People of Virginia says no, and we’re going to vote you all out next term.

    Virginia government responds by introducing a bill to eliminate voter ID.

    Virginia says we’re not going to wait, we’ll petition your removal from office and gets almost a 3rd of the 240K signatures to remove the governor and starts petitions to remove deligates.

    Virginia government responds by introducing a bill to raise the amount of signatures from 10% of the prevailing vote, to 25%.

    Folks, this is the a textbook example of tyranny. “We’re the government, and we’ll do anything we want, whether you like it or not. We won’t let you vote us out, we won’t let you remove us from office…. And if you can’t possess the weapons that a militia would need to force us out, of office, then there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it” (source)

    I guess we can add this Executive Order to the list of tyrannies above.

    Whatever should happen, Blackface instigated it. If some
    Bolsheviks show up, they better not have blowtorches.
