Virginia’s Anti-Gun Governor Northam is claiming that his preparations for the Peaceful Pro-Second Amendment Rally prevented violence. He is trying to further demonize lawful gun owners and second amendment defenders. The problem with Northam’s claim is that despite his call for a state of emergency and the abundance of first responders at the event, nothing happened. In fact, not a single citation was handed out at the rally that had to do with guns or those attending. And there were quite a few people in attendance with estimates of over 15k people. They even picked up after themselves.
Northam released the following statement, patting himself on the back as if he saved the day.
“We are all thankful that today passed without incident. The teams successfully de-escalated what could have been a volatile situation. This resulted from weeks of planning and extensive cooperation among state, local, and federal partners in Virginia and beyond.
Virginia’s law enforcement and first responders demonstrated tremendous professionalism. I’m proud of their work. I have spoken with Colonel Settle of the State Police, Colonel Pike of the Capitol Police, and Chief Smith of the Richmond Police Department, as well as leaders of the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s office, and thanked them for keeping Virginia safe.
Thousands of people came to Richmond to make their voices heard. Today showed that when people disagree, they can do so peacefully. The issues before us evoke strong emotions, and progress is often difficult. I will continue to listen to the voices of Virginians, and I will continue to do everything in my power to keep our Commonwealth safe.”
“The hysteria completely backfired. The event went on without violence, with even the left-leaning Washington Post, whose own coverage had been alarmist, admitting that it “never erupt[ed] into the violence authorities had feared,” and that the “police reported no major incidents.”
“This all amounts to a massive liberal own-goal. Anti-gun leftists in Virginia and in the liberal media warned that the pro-Second Amendment protest would be dangerous and violent. Reality reminded us once again that law-abiding gun owners are not the problem.”
“Monday’s rally was part of Lobby Day, an annual event in Virginia where advocates of a variety of causes descend on Richmond’s Capitol Square to plead their cases to legislators. Gun rights advocates have shown up in past years but the turnout Monday has grown astronomically.”
The MSM and Northam were hoping violence would erupt, it would further their anti-gun agenda. But the rally went well. Hopefully, Northam takes this as a sign that his people don’t want strict Gun Control Laws.
you are so full of yourself…you didn’t prevent ANYTHING…these people are Patriots AND they even clean up afterwards, not like snowflakes and antifa thugs..so you can just kiss our Patriot ASSES
Northam is just begging to be raped b y a broken wine bottle…now charge me under your new laws that villify anyone saying anything bad about state officials! And he suck shit out of Epstein’s dead ass!
And note the article mentioned that people clean-up after themselves. That is what Conservatives or those on the “Right” do. Compare that to the “Left” and “Environmentalist” (Which are “Leftist”) did at the “Key Stone Pipeline” line protest site and other protest locations. At the “Key Stone Pipeline” protest site the estimated clean-up cost was 10 million dollars.
Those on the “Left” always claim others are going to engage in violence when it is those on the “Left” that use violence on a regular basis, and work to incite violence. Governor Northam was hoping his “Leftist” allies would be able to instigate violence to justify his and others violations of Amendment 2 of the US Constitution, and I suspect, violations of the Virginia Constitution. And I wonder if this Governor and Legislature was really elected by the citizens of Virginia.
This lying POS, was PRAYING (to satin) that there would be thousands of Americans dead on the streets of his town… just to fit his sick hatred of our Country…
The Globalist Liberal NAZI Demoncrat Commie party and the useful idiots don’t give a crap about gun violence! They just want to take away your guns to leave you defenseless against Government tyranny! Wake up patriots before it’s too late! Defend the 2nd amendment!
The rally will have no effect on the Democrat’s push for more gun control. Northam and his party have always known their citizens don’t want more gun control laws, and they couldn’t care less. THEY want it, and THEY will impose it. Then, of course, they’ll have to enforce it. Te only solution for real Americans in Virginia is to vote them all out as soon as possible and then repeal ALL their antigun laws immediately. If they have enough votes, they should also amend the Virginia State Constitution to make it clearly unconstitutional to pass more gun control laws in te future. But they probably won’t.
The Black Face Infanticide wanna be Tyrant Dictator should not be in office along with his LT Governor & AG who are accused of sexual crimes that have been swept under the rug. The next in line to succeed them would be the janitor! Talk about FUBAR & SNAFU!
