From the VCDL...,
IMPORTANT REQUEST: We need 10,000 patriots to fill the Capitol grounds for Monday's rally!
Unfortunately, the Virginia Supreme Court just said they did not have enough information on the stay denied by the lower court to issue their own stay, so the Governor's illegal gun-ban on Capitol grounds is going to stand for this event.
Here is what we need to do on Monday to make the rally a success:
DETAILS: VCDL needs at least 10,000 members/gun owners to commit to "taking one for the team'" by entering the Capitol grounds unarmed around 10 am and being in place for the rally by 10:45 am. Those who were lobbying will already be unarmed, so we urge them to be part of the 10,000 inside the fencing. NOTE: knives with folding metal blades less than 3-inches long are ARE permitted both in the General Assembly AND on the Capitol grounds. For every one gun owner on the Capitol grounds, we need another two to five people outside the Capitol grounds's fence on 9th Street. Those doing so can be legally armed. If you can commit to being one of our needed 10,000 unarmed members inside the fence, please help us by asking several of your family and friends to be your designated armed escort to the gates and to stand outside the fenced area to watch over us.
WHY:
We are separating our responsibilities, in this otherwise untenable and unconstitutional situation foisted on gun owners by Northam. Gun owners standing, both inside and outside of the fence, ensure that the Capitol grounds and the surrounding area is filled to capacity to hear our speakers and it will make a great visual for the cameras!
For those who are going to be on the Capitol grounds, the less items you bring along, the quicker and more efficient the screening. VCDL will have loudspeakers so that those outside the fence will be able to hear. The event will also be broadcast live on WRVA radio, 1140 AM /96.1 FM.
IMPORTANT:
We ask everyone to follow the temporary Capitol grounds rules. There is NO need for an act of civil disobedience to achieve standing for a court fight. We already have standing. We still will have our day in court to fully debate the governor's unconstitutional overreach in just a few short weeks. Thank you very much for your support and understanding. The Governor and his cronies would like nothing better than to see the Capitol grounds empty, with the speakers talking only to themselves. We simply cannot let that happen.
PLEASE CHOOSE ONE: Arrive temporarily UNARMED and go INSIDE the fenced area on the Capitol grounds or Stand with us, LEGALLY ARMED if you so choose, just OUTSIDE the fence and watch over your brothers and sisters inside the fence Either way, we'll see you there!
FINAL NOTE:
Monday is going to be a day of lobbying, with a peaceful rally. All law-abiding citizens are invited. The Capitol, State, and Richmond police forces will be providing strong security. We thank them in advance for helping make sue that the event is a safe and fun event.
Thank you. PVC

We thank them in advance for helping make sue that the event is a safe and fun event. Thank you. PVC This situation is critical, this is a watershed moment in U.S. history. It`s unthinkable that those who swear an oath to support and defend the United States constitution would so blatantly and defiantly ignore that oath, and go directly against the Constitution. There must be change, those who ignore the Constitution must be held accountable, and there must be something put in place so that these abuses of power simply cannot happen again. Even though we are far from our patriot brothers in Virginia, there are things we can do. Write your state Senators and Representatives, as well as your federal Senators and Representatives when you see issues, or abuses that go against constitutional rights, especially Second Amendment infringements. Be polite, but firmly express your expectation that your elected employees keep the oath they swore to uphold and defend the Constitution. Additionally, join and support a great gun rights group like Gun Owners of America. GOA is actively involved with this Virginia debacle, and are fighting this through the courts, and rallying concerned gun owners all across the country. And please, do send regular contributions, but more than that, get involved locally, volunteer, be available to help in any way. There are people all across the nation, even right here in Indiana, that are working hard every day, to weaken and eventually take away your God-given, constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms. It ought to be clear by now that just because any given right is enumerated in the Constitution, does not make it immune to attacks by those who seem to want to completely subjugate those rights. Getting 10,000 to fill any Capitol grounds shouldn`t be a problem, ever. The only problem ought to be where to place the overflow, the additional 100,000. We need people to wake up and get serious. We`ve been able for a long time, to let the other guys step up and deal with all the work it takes to secure our Second Amendment rights. But we can`t be lazy or apathetic anymore. It`s getting real, and we have to decide exactly where we stand. It is time to stand up, step up, and be counted. As MY President said: "From my cold dead hands". www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORYVCML8xeE

I saw this early this morning but forgot to post it. Apparently some guy went to check out the rally scene ahead of time and had cops drive 100 miles to question him: youtu.be/GnHC1FBEEN4

Apparently some guy went to check out the rally scene ahead of time and had cops drive 100 miles to question him: youtu.be/GnHC1FBEEN4Yes, apparently it`s come to this. The liberal puppet media stirs up fear and hatred, and assists those who are intent on not just disarming us, but seek to demonize us, make false accusations and misdirect and cause mistrust against law-abiding American citizens. To be fair, the guy that he continued to talk with stayed very calm, was respectful, treated the citizen fairly, and reasonably. The point is though, that what the citizen said about being very nearly in a police state is exactly correct. He was under scrutiny simply for walking around the Virginia Capitol, but would have been even moreso had he been exercising his constitutionally protected right to be armed. There have been instances of law enforcement being extremely aggressive and antagonistic towards citizens who have done nothing wrong simply because they were armed. Lastly, he was right that all elected employees and law enforcement have sworn an oath to the United States Constitution, and are beholden to defend the Constitution and ignore illegal laws.

Here is an example of how the Left is portraying gun owners in attendance:

Rumor has it that Antifa is sending 7 busloads of supporters, with half being disguised in MAGA hats and NRA shirts. This group will incite "violence" against the regular Antifa protesters to make it appear that the Second Amendment supporters are attacking them.

When we allow someone, anyone, to drive the "conversation", we then tend to lose focus of the point of the whole thing, since we`re busy answering their argument. We`re too easy to get off track, and everything becomes very convoluted. No matter what else goes on, it has to be remembered that the point of all of this are the attacks by elected employees on the Second Amendment rights of the citizens of Virginia. Period. We cannot get distracted and so busy defending the actions of Second Amendment supporters, whether they`re real or bogus, that we then let the discussion become about the character of them, instead about the unconstitutional attacks on our right to keep and bear arms.

I just took a quick glance at a few live stream videos out of Richmond Virginia! Everything I saw showed tens of thousands of protesters! All acting quite civil and peaceful!

Well, I just read on another forum that many of the parking garages in the area of the rally have suddenly decided to close that day for "safety reasons" and are issuing refunds to those who have reservations. At least one hotel -- The Omni -- has stated that they do not want Second Amendment supporters as clients, and have plastered the doors and lobby with "no guns allowed" signs. Unless the hotel has a metal detector installed where you can't get pass it then I would take my gun into the hotel anyway and dare them to search me or my luggage. What they don't know won't hurt me.

The problem with the 2nd amendment is that the supreme court and all the other courts consider themselves part of the Government and want to protect themselves from the people. So they have rules against the 2nd amendment even though we don't need a judge to read the words and understand "Shall not infringe".

I heard a report of attendance around 32,000 + with only one arrest at rally today. The “arrest” was more of a citation with an Iran mediate reiease. A 21 year old young lady kept pulling her bandana up covering her face. Not sure if she part of the real protest or not?
