As you may have heard, Virginia Governor Northam wants to take the guns away from law-abiding Virginia citizens. A peaceful protest march is planned for Monday.
Not surprising, some right-wing groups, such as the Oath Keepers, and the 3%ers, are also planning to participate
The governor has already declared a temporary state of emergency.
Virginia Senator Amanda Chase tweeted as follows:

Sadly, I am posting this, knowing that the Governor of Virginia has declared a State of Emergency in our state.
I want you to be aware of how we are being set up.
Does the Patriot Act ring a bell?
Does the National Defense Authorization Act ring a bell?
If people show up wearing any kind of uniform, patch or other symbol on their clothing signifying they belong to a militia and something goes wrong, you could/will be held as a domestic terrorist.
If anyone steps out of line, all it takes is one person, it may even be a government plant....if that plant does anything to disrupt the rally, you could/will be arrested as a domestic terrorist.
The Governor, using the media has already set the stage for this to happen.
He has already laid the groundwork to make the entire movement look like insurrection.
It will be used to put the rest of the nation on notice of what will happen to you, if you resist.
They have used the Southern Poverty Law Center over the last 15 years to lay the groundwork.
They have labeled us as potential domestic terrorist for a long time now.
Anyone who has ever related to the 3%er's, a militia, or just belonged to any Patriot group...the groundwork has been laid to brand you as a domestic terrorist.
They have gone out of their way since the Obama years to insure they had us labeled, but it didn't start with Obama. It started with the Patriot Act under the Bush administration.
We are being played by a well oiled machine, these things have been in the works for many years.
They are kicking things into high gear. Military veterans were/are even listed as potential domestic terrorist.
We were told not once, but several times by the current President, “It's Not Me they are after, It's You, The American People.“
Their actions over the last three years have shown you he was right, they are coming after us full speed ahead and they aren't even trying to hide it anymore.
Sic semper tyrannis, keep your head on a swivel and know what's going on around you at all times, at Lobby Day 1/20/20.
Everyone be safe out there....Thus always to tyrants.

Antifa also plans to be there. I assume, they are exempt from these rules.
I wouldn't be surprised, if somebody staged a false-flag attack.

As expected by one side but not as suggested/feared by the other side.
On CNN, this morning, they showed the beginning of the rally. The commentator called the protesters "white nationalists"
I din't know that race, or nationalism, had anything to do with the Second Amendment of the Constitution. But then, the disgusting MSM has been trying for 3 years now to start trouble and violence.
Later, I read that large groups of protesters, armed with trash bags, cleaned up the streets after the rally. The streets were left spotless, it said.
This, by itself, is unusual, IMHO.
Another prediction by the MSM about the deplorable s bites the dust:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wondered why there were "almost no police officers" at a Second Amendment rally in Virginia that saw a heavy police presence.
Thousands of gun rights advocates demonstrated in Richmond, Virginia, on Monday in protest of a series of gun control bills proposed by Democrats. While speaking the same day at Blackout for Human Rights: MLK Now 2020 in Harlem's Riverside Church, the New York Democrat criticized the rally.
"There's this gun rights protest happening down in Richmond," she began as the event's host said, "On MLK day!"
"On MLK day!" Ocasio-Cortez said before contrasting the Richmond rally with the Baltimore, Maryland, riots following the 2015 death of Freddie Gray while he was in police custody.
"But here's the image that has struck with me the most about that. When we go out and march for the dignity and the recognition of the lives of people like Freddie Gray and Eric Garner, the whole place is surrounded by police in riot gear without a gun in sight. And here are all of these people flying Confederate flags, with semi-automatic weapons, and there's almost no police officers at that protest," she said.
She added, "Who or what are our institutions protecting from whom? That image conveys it all."
During the 2015 Baltimore riots, approximately 486 people were arrested, and over 100 police officers were injured. More than 280 businesses were damaged, and nearly 150 vehicles were set on fire, amounting to over $9 million in damages.
In an effort to avoid a repeat of the violence at the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, officers from the Virginia State Police, the Virginia Capitol police, and the Richmond police deployed on rooftops and patrolled on bicycles and in cars during the Richmond demonstration. The FBI additionally worked with local law enforcement to weed out "threats of violence" ahead of time.
Authorities reported one arrest at the rally, which was attended by over 20,000 people. The Washington Examiner reached out to local police about the number of officers present but did not receive an immediate response.
metmike: Here is the comparison:
At her rally, 486 people injured, including 100 cops, 280 businesses damaged, 150 vehicles set on fire and over 9,000,000 in damages.
At the rally yesterday, 0 injuries, 0 businesses damaged, 0 cars set on fire, $0 in damages...........in fact, those in attendance picked up their trash before they left.
According to AOC, it's because of discrimination/racism by the cops.
Hugh?
She continues to live in the alternate universe...........that includes other issues, like where this current climate optimum(best weather/climate in 1,000 years) is a (fake)climate crisis/emergency headed towards the end of the planet and her manufactured realities are the complete opposite of the real world.
.............it's not like it was even close. It would be like comparing a cat. 5 hurricane to a sunny pleasant day and telling us the catastophic hurricane was good weather and the perfect weather didn't really happen.
