Security was tight as gun-rights advocates descended on Richmond for"Lobby Day" to oppose legislation that would restrict access to firearms in the state.
— Mallory Simon January 20, 2020 Lots of heavily armed folks here today in #richmond. But all is calm. Chants of USA regularly and scenes like this #Richmond2ARally pic.twitter.com/ey7iWTtHm6 — Mallory Simon January 20, 2020 A petition was circulating calling for Northam's recall, an effort unlikely to succeed given that it would require the signatures of hundreds of thousands of registered Virginia voters to trigger a court process.Manny Vega of Richmond, who was outside the secured area, said he and his fellow protesters were"here to represent every citizen here that wants to keep the right to bear arms.
Virginia governor declares temporary state of emergency 01:33People began lining up around 6 a.m. ET to go through security, an hour before gates to the capitol grounds were opened. Security was very thorough, as officers went through bags and made people remove their jackets to be searched despite the frigid temperatures. Law enforcement confiscated items like lighters as people passed into the secured area.
A large gun-rights rally in VA capital unfolded peacefully despite false democrat narrative last week pushed by Fakenews mainstream media led by that white supremacy & militia would use the 2nd amendment rally for violence. Another nothing burger as VanJones68 would say...
They're so used to the leftists rioting during their 'mostly peaceful' protests I think CNN is in shock. Either that or they're upset they didn't get to report any gun violence.
It pains for CNN to say that. A peaceful rally.
Despite a false narrative pushed by the MSM
juliettekayyem Legal, law-abiding gun owners are Peacekeepers. Obvious today in Richmond VA.
You guys were foaming at the mouth in anticipation of violence which never happened or ever really seems to happen at any Pro2A rally. Meanwhile at Antifa rallies:
It wasn’t violent becauseAntifa didn’t show up
Let this be a warning to state governments...we have more guns than you.
No Antifa + No BLM + No other crazy leftists = PEACE ✌️👍🏼
There was however an incident of gun violence and killing in Kansas City, the night before. Committed by a Jahron Swift. Does 'Jahron' sound white nationalist? No, but that's not the kind of person that's dangerous. That we worry about. Just white nationalists.
The blueprint on how to protest the right way. Question : How does Tens of thousands of people carrying gather with not one single shot. Answer: No gun free zone. Liberal logic says that more guns equals more murder. 🤷♂️
Typical lib paranoia...
Most of them are either in the coal mines or getting high.
That’s because it wasn’t the same people as the trash in Charlottesville, but you knew that already. I won’t say the MSM is the enemy of the people, just of the truth.
its cause this wasn't a white supremacist rally
Here's a headline CNN... STILL SAFER THAN JEFFERY EPSTEIN IN A LOCKED DOWN JAIL CELL.
They stopped fucking their cousins long enough to hold a rally? Good for them.
Of course it was peaceful... law bidding citizens that own guns don’t want violence. Now, the far left ANTIFA is all about it. The Governor of VA is a disgrace, and should step down. If he continues to push in taking guns, he’ll lose.
Weren’t Charlottesville counter protesters there for destruction? Weren’t they threatening to tear down historic landmarks as they had in other cities?
So...even though it was NOTHING like Charlottesville, you follow the rules of ClickBait to bring it up anyway Good work, comrades....🤬😡🤬😡🤬
Despite the constant lies and fear mongoring from you, the FakeNews
Despite our lying CorruptLeftistMedia smearing all of them as dangerous white supremacists!! Our media is nothing short of EVIL.
ANTIFA bad they are the terrorists.
Media pissed no one got hurt
Better luck next time!!!
Pro-Gun Rights people are peaceful. It’s the left, with their violent rhetoric who make the peaceful rally’s turn ugly.
And CNN is disappointed.
Terribly sorry to disappoint you, CNN.
Despite the FakeNewsMedia propaganda has tried to push you mean?
You are far less likely to have violence at a 2nd Amendment rally, than in a Baltimore nightclub, or a typical weekend in South Chicago.
We aren't like liberal's.
It was peaceful because of efforts made to make it safe. The FBI arrested 7 white nationalists who may have caused violence, one of whom entered the US illegally from Canada.
Whomp whomp
Just proves that conservatives are not violent, any time it's a leftist rally theirs always some kind of violence and hate speach
How much did the racist governor’s fear mongering cost the good citizens of Virginia?
Hmmm, imagine that. An armed society is a polite society. Thousands of those 'scary' AR-15s in the streets and not a single incident...hmmmm
Sorry for your loss,
Two completely different rallies and FakeNewsCNN tries to draw a parallel between them that doesn’t fly. Just because someone is pro 2A doesn’t make them a redneck white nationalist. Another epic Fail
That was media hype. The media and the Demoncrats wanted violence.
Racist gathering you say ?
Why not refer to it for what it really is? Micro penis rally
Despite earlier propaganda by outfits like yours. Streets were clean, no fights, no violence, the exact opposite of when leftists show up.
CNN is so pissed nothing happened.
stinkytcat1 You and you're ilk on the left and the other MSM's were the only ones stoking the fears. There was NEVER any violence threatened or planned. Delete your account.
Gee, maybe the National Archives will photo shop some black faces on a few of the MAGA gun goons to pretend they are more diverse.
Try to sound a little upset
Early fears spread by .
Expected by everybody except CNN and MSNBC.
Antifa knows not to mess with people packing heat. Of course nothing was going to happen!
You seem genuinely upset there was no violence. Weird, huh?
The federal laws must be changed. Specifically, when a congress person(s) leads an impeachment cabal- coup d'état based on lies and fake concoctions, the person(s)/cabal should be tried, if guilty expelled from Congress
Guns are free for the benefit of the capitalist, not for personal liberties
You mean in spite of unfounddd fears drummed up by cnn and other fake news groups.
Nice to Hear it has been a Peaceful Event....so far
Gfy.
And no one gives credit to the Governor for calling a state of emergency, leading to unarmed central protest square?
CNN was hoping for violence, then Andy, Chrissy and Donny could tearfully lecture their small audience.
I’d be willing to bet that nothing happens.
Because you were hoping for violence...
Bummer you couldn't use it for ratings, huh?
That's because we are law binding Americans. CNN fake news
Why are you drawing comparisons . Maybe we should compare the women’s march to Antifa riots ?
I'm glad to see citizens protesting Virginia's racist governor.
