RICHMOND, Va. - Thousands of armed gun-rights activists filled the streets around Virginia’s capitol building on Monday to protest a package of gun-control legislation making its way through the newly Democratic-controlled state legislature.
Activists at the rally argued that Virginia was trying to infringe on their right to bear arms, which is protected by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. State Democratic leaders and activists believe that move contributed to the November victories that gave them control of both chambers. Those wanting to enter Capitol Square to hear the morning’s speakers had to pass through a single entrance for security screening, leaving their guns outside.
America is definitely GUN Drunk and many more people will pay the price. The second amendment may allow you to own a GUN however it says nothing about taking innocent lives let alone mass Murder!
Fyi, there were people of every color at this rally. Even sheriffs and deputies. The media only portrays what they want you to see and hear.
.Clear today can't let every rube parade around w/ loaded assault rifles. VA must require that only those eligible to join National Guard can possess AssRif, AND must keep them on their own property at all times or in locked case in trunk when moving GovernorVA Hashmi4Va
Hard to read his flag in the wind. It says 'White Guys Hoping for A Bigger Penis'.
Morons with guns not a good combination
Bunch of undemocratic, unpatriotic, small dicked, little men. This is the lawful democratic legislative process that they are protesting against using armed intimidation and threats. VirginiaRally Virginia2A
farmer1951r Who was armed?
Biggest concern all the out of state people bused in. They cannot vote in State. I get they be concerned but this is a state matter, that is peaceful.
And then they all went home to shag their sister or brother, dad or daughter.
And had they been black?
Somehow, I don't think that a mass armed demonstration that -- it seems by intent -- scares everybody, is the path to political success.
“Snowflakes “ per POTUS not liking the outcome of voters Hmm double standard at play ?
They will never take our guns away.REMEMBER RUBY RIDGE!!
Are we sure this isn’t just the line for Chick-Fil-A
Why don't you support the protests of the Iranian people against the Islamic Republic of Iran?
Does anyone want to explain to them how the Federalists where against the Bill of Rights?
in game.
And no one was hurt.
All these folks need to go to a trump rally fully armed pistols and long guns at hand and demand that trump allows them into the venue!! After all we don’t want the president inside a gun free zone do we!!
Reasonable gun laws that are enforced save lives. Stop the slaughter of innocent children already!
Have you noticed the Demonstrators in Richmond today are all White? Why would anyone object to legislation requiring a background investigation to buy a gun, or stopping the sale of Military Style Guns, like AR15s? No one is going to “Take Away Their Guns”, so this is ridiculous!
Tough talking scardy cats.
What we have here are great patriots defending the constitution. What we have below in comment's 👇 are liberal Anti-American snowflakes. DefendOur2A
Neo Confederate Hate Group
Thousands of terrorists! 😳 Masked men carrying weapons of war from all over the country surround a government building to influence and force their beliefs. That’s literally the definition of terrorism. 🤷🏻♂️
They are not activists.. This are Law Abiding Citizen‘s demanding that their Constitutional Rights are not infringe.
Sign em all up for Space Force and send them to Uranus.
TIP: if Christian America was violent, there would be no one trying to take our rights away. We are most powerful group on earth.
Americans don’t turn into Mexico, Britain, France. Cartels, terrorists, criminals, nations that hate America are waiting for the US to fall. Don’t be a GullibleAmerican
Switch out all the white folks for people of color and the national guard would be called out.
Bused in, paid for by whom? If this was a parade of people of color equally armed there would be hell in the streets.
True meaning of a red neck
Lol. Seeing this mass gathering of idiots definitely makes me support stricter gun control in this country. These people should not be allowed to own weapons.
I watched that whole protested streamed lived. They were peaceful, no problems, no issues. The worst ones were the counter protesters trying to get a rise out of them. Good job on not taking the bait all!!!
I would say 'thousands'. It's more like hundreds.
Trump McConnell Graham Republicans called out and paid the fringe groups, Neo Nazis, Neo Confederates, KKK, White Christians, etc. These people do not represent America.
Good to see he grabbed his best, stained hoodie for the event. I didn't realize they made XXXXL sweatshirts...?
Time to fight back lefties propaganda and totalitarian methods of control meaning emotional super woke agenda.
all together !!!
looks like an armed rebellion
Fat, old and stupid seems to be a thing in that group. I wonder how they'd hold up in a psych exam LOL.
Half of them looks like they would shoot themselves in the foot any minute now
