VA. GUN OWNERS WON'T BE INTIMIDATED BY VA. GOV.!
LOBBY DAY TO BE HISTORIC AS THE WORLD WATCHES!

I stand with Virginia, quite literally in fact. Tyrants fear armed citizens and it goes without saying that Gov. "blackface" Northam did not call a State of Emergency because of a "credible threat" but simply to spread Alinsky-style misinformation and create fear. The VCDL holds a Lobby Day each and every year without incident. It is attended by everyone from liberal gun owners, conservatives, libertarians, minorities and militia members alike. If there was any hint of violence, gun owners would be the first to put an end to it. In fact, 2A activists do a great job of weeding out violent Antifa-like anarchists from their ranks. Has violence ever been threatened or used at a 2A rally? The answer is a resounding NO.
I am following the leaders, supporters and citizen militia groups and every last person is calling for a peaceful showing, as usual, in order to place pressure on politicians to uphold their oaths and protect our rights. No, this is not where the Boogaloo begins regardless of what NYT and Vox reporters who still have spots want you to believe. The average gun owner is well aware that the 2A was enacted to overthrow a tyrannical government when no other means exists as opposed to being used as a tool to oppose the legislative and judicial process.
I recently attended a rally at the US Capitol alongside the same people. They are wonderful people who love and cherish freedom and liberty and the right to protect their families in the manner of their choosing. I have video of middle-aged overweight white men like me standing alongside women, minorities and liberal gun owners, all with a shared passion for liberty and respect for each others' varied viewpoints on issues such as vaccines, police powers and the environment.
This purely political move by "blackface" Northam is typical of today's anti-2A crowd and is, quite frankly, un-American. It is as if those who oppose gun rights want a civil war! Seems like a failed strategy to me.

You can't trample on a cherished Constitutional right, one which protects us from socialist policies, and act surprised when free people stand against you. Real Virginians WILL NOT COMPLY with any unconstitutional gun laws devoid of any scientific, statistical or logical basis. ---Matthew Tamasco

They will continue to possess the arms they deem best suited for defense of self and country. I stand with the people of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the same way I stand with the people of Iran as they endure socialist oppression and dictatorships intent on stripping them of rights, making them subservient to government and placing their safety and security at the whim of those capable of evil acts.
