Gun rights activists will descend on the state capital of Virginia on Monday, putting authorities on alert just two days before protests are expected across the US over the inauguration of Joe Biden

It is mostly run by the Virginia Citizens Defence League , alongside an anti-government group known as the Boogaloo movement.

It always falls on Martin Luther King Jr Day - a national holiday in the US which honours the civil rights activist who was assassinated in 1986.On Sunday, Boogaloo members walked around the outside of the statehouse, posing for the cameras with semi-automatic weapons while planning for Monday's event.

VCDL leader Philip Van Cleve said activists come from as far away as New York and Texas to lobby politicians to further relax gun laws.Last year's crowd was estimated to be around 22,000 people.
