“My family hunts, but I think gun control is necessary,” she said. “You shouldn’t be worried if you’re not doing anything illegal.”
Just a block from the Capitol, Quisha Jefferson manages a 7-Eleven convenience store that's usually open round-the-clock, but she plans to shut it down Sunday night and reopen Monday when calm returns.Even if she wanted to stay open, it would be difficult for her employees to get to work because road closures forced by the rally will impede bus routes, and they are nervous about showing up for their regular Monday shifts anyway.
“We’re terrified,” said one woman, who can see the Capitol from her place of work and asked not to be named because she feared retribution from her employer. At her two-week-old clothing store, Serendipity, Kim Williams said her customers were talking about the rally all day Saturday. Tourists from Boston told her they had chosen the wrong weekend to visit Richmond, and a college student said her father planned a last-minute visit but couldn’t get a hotel room because they were all booked up.
That's what happens when the police doesnt do it's job and keep the communists at a distance.. They are always violent. We know that. It's almost as if someone is trying to take advantage of that and then blame the other side.... I think we get this by now.
This is insane and the president should stop this there should be no gun rally on this particular Monday. This is extremely insensitive of our president to allow this to happen
On MLKDay 😑😑😑
Stop twisting the truth. We are sick of this crap. It’s not white nationalist. It’s nationalism. And Virginia is over stepping the 2nd Amendment of the constitution. The people voted you in as servants, not dictators. You shall make no law. Get that straight. There 4 a reason.
I like how we are lumping legal gun owners and activists in with hate groups. Nice.
nice job misquoting my friend to fit your narrative. like my friends told you, as Charlottesville residents, we're not worried this will be another Unite the Right rally. we have no reason to go near the capitol and it's not a concern.
Stop fear mongoring why not report on Epstein or The Clinton ties to Epstein, or flint Michigan still not having water, or the mass amounts of survivors from Vegas stating there was more than one shooter
Only if Antifa terrorists show up and start trouble while trying to pose as peaceful 2A patriots
Suppose you had a rally and the media doesn’t show up. Is it still a rally? Asking for a friend.
Stop fear mongering NBC, marching against tyrannical Democrats who are attempting to infringe on 6 constitutional rights is perfectly legal, try your media Bias on something else. Unless you are in Bloomberg’s pocket helping Dems oppress more citizens like they have last 150 yrs
Richmond isn’t Charlottesville, who were lambasted in report for multiple failures. Rally folks are LAW abiding citizens and Virginians, who do this every year. Outside agitators and others will be pointed out to police for swift removal for their own safety! Stop fear mongerin
When you’re on the same side as Nazis and militia nuts, you’re on the wrong side.
my opinion; every family in America, specially the minorities and Jews, must own 2 automatic hand guns and 1 AK47 to defend from attacks by the KKK or WN thugs want to kill you. Be law abiding but brave. Have never owned a gun but I should. I see bad days coming. Peace & Love.
They should surround them with the damn army make a show of force for show of force
ABC CBSNews FoxNews CNN NBC is a voice for socialist communist and Nazi type of government. NBC must be controlled by foreign enemy of America.
Control antifa and the race baiters on both sides and it will be fairly uneventful.
Just because they want to protest their gun rights doesn't mean they have to bring their guns.
You’re not going to call out leftist domestic terrorist groups, like Antifa?
Fake news
Nationalist's aren't all white nor are they all racist. Black, white and brown nationalist's (male and female) do run together in militia groups and as gun rights activist's together.
Just more FakeNews from NBC. It's not about hunting. The proposed laws DO take people's gun away. Court did not strike down the challenge to the order. “You shouldn’t be worried if you’re not doing anything illegal.” - That's the dumbest Tide Pod statement in the whole report.
Do these groups realize they are intimidating people? Parading and showing off with weapons and paramilitary garb may not be the best way to convince folks intelligent gun control isn’t a good idea.
Equating gun owners with white nationalists is a deliberate and scurrilous attempt by Hate America First Democrats in Virginia...Governor Coonman Northam among them...to sow prejudice and hate. Northam is a fascist wearing a cheap suit and black tip shoes.
Hope to God no one is stupid enough to take their kids to this. If violent Democrats and antifa are there it will be violent. These are thugs and nut cases!
If violent Democrats and antifa are there you can pretty much count on it.
.realDonaldTrump's 'Good people on both sides' …. Part Deux GOP senatemajldr
Let's see who USA Peace Officers protect now after lump twump has called All USA Peace Keepers dumb n babies !? NBC r u helping them try to keep USA Citizens home when we should be going out in monumental 's !?
This isn’t news reporting, it’s political activism aligned precisely with Governor Northam’s disingenuous talking points. You people do more to divide Americans than anyone.
Praying there is no violence.
Your conflation is supreme
So...you're saying gun owners equate with white nationalists? Or we're all in a militia..?
Gun rights rally is just a pass word for a KKK rally! These people are bolstered by the fact that we have an POTUS who implicitly condones their bigotry and racism through his words and actions. My daughter went to school at U of R, and the city doesn't deserve these scumbags.
Dont forget antifa and the other far left groups also attending.
Are militant pro gun confiscations protesters going to be there in helmets with weapons?
Prayers don’t work, legislation does.
Incredible coincidence, this armed show off force just happens to be on MLK Day.
Expect the worst.
That the rally is on MLK, Jr. Day, is a disgrace.
Seriously ban cars from anywhere around that area. That’s the weapon that was used.
Some are just regular gun owners too - not activists, not militia, and not white supremacist. Great job at trying to lump us all into a group that’s undesirable.
All in reaction to sudden, aggressive, unconstitutional gun legislation pre-filed by the legislature before they even started their session. You can not dismiss the Democrats behavior in this situation, it is irresponsible and helps no one.
If this were Black Americans with all these guns showing up to talk about their gun rights, Gun laws would change faster than St Ronnie did in California.
Why NOT? It's realDonaldTrump's version of America!
Fear monger much SecondAmendment ShallNotBeInfringed
The Second Amendment protects all the rest.
When you get that many idiots in one place. ANYTHING could happen.
Her name was Heather Heyer.
Why have these senseless rallies, it's not as if their guns are being taken away. They preach it's their right obviously they don't have much confidence in it
this is a setup. don't go. just vote these losers out or face the consequences.
why would the authorities even allow this?
People need to wake up and realize the 2nd amendment was created for protection against a tyrannical government which appears to be happening in Virginia. And if the left truly think Trump is Hitler, why are they so willing to give up their guns? Lol
Stay classy Virginia.
