In response to what Governor Northam calls, “Credible Intelligence,” of violence at the rally, guns will be banned at the demonstration:
A Circuit Court judge upheld Gov. Ralph Northam’s temporary ban on firearms in Capitol Square ahead of Monday’s gun rights rally, which is expected to draw thousands of armed activists from across the country.
From Friday night until Tuesday, weapons of any kind will be prohibited on the grounds of the Capitol under a state of emergency. Northam (D) said the precaution was necessary because of “credible intelligence” that militias and gun rights advocates are threatening violence at the rally.
“This is the right decision,” Northam said in a statement about Richmond Chief Judge Joi Jeter Taylor’s ruling Thursday afternoon. “These threats are real — as evidenced by reports of neo-Nazis arrested this morning after discussing plans to head to Richmond with firearms.”
Gun rights groups filed an appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court on Thursday evening.
Awww, they’ll have to leave their manhood at home, the poor babies.
It wouldn't take much to get an arguement started with the gunnys…"Your mother wears army boots" and the whole lot of em start blasting away at each other…win win…
Ummmmm….There is a problem with that, they won't have any guns. Northam has banned them from the Capitol grounds.
