Virginia Governor Declares State Of Emergency Ahead Of Gun Rights Rally : NPR
:lamo
Just hilarious! So much for those strong 2nd amendment protections. I guess all we need to ban guns is evidence of a credible threat, and what right winger with a gun isn't a credible threat....? :mrgreen:
Fearing potential violence, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam is declaring a state of emergency and is banning firearms and other weapons on the Capitol grounds in Richmond ahead of a gun rights demonstration planned for next week.
"We have received credible intelligence from our law enforcement agencies that there are groups with malicious plans for the rally that is planned for Monday," Northam said during a press conference Wednesday afternoon.
Gun rights supporters are preparing to converge on Richmond for a lobbying day and a rally Monday morning. They're opposed to efforts by Virginia Democrats — who've just*taken over control*of the Virginia legislature following the November 2019 elections — to pass a slate of*gun control bills*backed by Northam.
