Virginia governor declares state of emergency following militia threats over gun reforms
Intelligence groups report chatter echos Charlottesville rally, governor says.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam issued a state of emergency on Wednesday that bars any weapons from the Richmond’s Capitol Square from Friday to Tuesday, after he received credible intelligence that hate groups and armed militias are planning violence at next Monday’s Lobby Day against gun control legislation.

Northam, who discussed the threats at a news conference, said the state’s law enforcement analysis found that the chatter on the internet and other venues mirrored similar messages seen around the time of the 2017 Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally, which left three dead and more than 30 injured.

The governor declined to give exact details about the threats and the persons making them, but said that these groups, who were coming from outside of the state, talked about storming the Virginia Capitol.

"They are not coming to peacefully protest, they are coming to intimidate and to cause harm," he said of the outside groups.

He is a lying sack of cat poop. I am certain that any threats of violence has come from the left, and i am also certain that they will be the ones carrying "illegal weapons on the grounds to incite others.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Liberal Virginia Gov to Declare State Emergency to Prevent LEGAL Carry at 2A Rally

( PJ Media )– Just days before a planned gun-rights protest in the state capitol, Democratic Governor Ralph Northam plans to declare an emergency later today banning all weapons, including firearms, from the Capitol Square. According to NBC4 in Washington, officials speaking on condition of anonymity said the governor is concerned about “credible threats of potential violence and extremism.” However, the ominous-sounding report has the unnamed official admitting that “the state does not have intelligence that the groups are planning a specific act of violence.” Still, “Northam has grown increasingly concerned about numerous ominous-sounding postings on social media from forces outside Virginia.”

Unlike blue bastions such as California and New York, Virginia is a former Confederate state with strong rural traditions and lax gun laws. Guns represent the strongest, reddest line against the demographic changes that have seen Old Dominion voters usher in a new era of Democratic leadership in recent elections. And so a Nevada-based group called the Oath Keepers said it's sending training teams to help form posses and militia in Virginia. The leader of a Georgia militia called Three Percent Security Force has posted videos and calls to arms on Facebook, urging "patriots" to converge on Richmond. The right-wing YouTube "American Joe Show" warned without evidence that Virginia will cut the power grid to stop the army of protesters - one of a host of false and exaggerated rumors spreading online.Law enforcement and public safety officials say they are monitoring the situation, including several instances of threats toward Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat. Even some gun enthusiasts expressed concern about the potential for violence at a rally planned for the state Capitol on Jan. 20. State police briefed Northam for two hours last week, according to one state official, and the governor plans to lead an all-staff meeting this week to go over increased security procedures.The Virginia Citizens Defense League, the grass-roots organization planning the rally, said it has told the state to prepare for as many as 50,000 or even 100,000 people showing up.

Virginia governor starts labeling veterans ‘domestic terror threat’ ahead of 2A rally
Posted by Pat Droney | Jan 19, 2020

We have said it repeatedly…watch Virginia. The final shots in the first Civil War were fired there and the first shots of the next Civil War may be fired there as well.

Virginia is of course in the midst of one of the biggest gun grabs by a state in American history. Not satisfied with that, Virginia is also going after the electoral college, which we also reported on this weekend. ...

Conservative state senator Amanda Chase of District 11 went to Facebook on Friday with a stark warning for anyone who is planning on attending the rally on Monday.
Quote
    “Sadly, I am posting this, knowing that the Governor of Virginia has declared a state of emergency in our state,” she said. “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? Chase is warning pro-Second Amendment activists that under the provisions of those two acts, they could be labeled as “domestic terrorists.”
... She also said that she doesn’t believe just those wearing camouflage or wearing military insignias have reason for concern.

    “They are kicking things into high gear,” she wrote. “Military veterans were/are even listed as potential domestic terrorists. 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.’”

Impeaching this President, infringing on the 2A and going after the electoral college in one fell swoop; the DEMS are doing what they need to do in order to win in 2020.  It's as simple as that.  I stated earlier -- what happens in VA will indeed set the tone as to what happens to the rest of the country.  This is a battle just waiting to happen. 
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Virginia Governor Sets a Trap for Lobby Day, 20 January, 2020
Posted on January 17, 2020 by Dean Weingarten   

U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- Second Amendment supporters face a daunting challenge in Virginia for Lobby day, at the Virginia Capitol in Richmond, on 20 January 2020.  Those who wish to disarm Virginians have created a trap to frame Second Amendment Supporters as violent white supremacists, going to Richmond to destroy duly elected government.  ...

The provocations by Governor Northam and the elected Democrats seem meant to destroy that progress and to portray Second Amendment supporters as lawless, violent white supremacists.

Matt Bracken has written an excellent essay on the potential for Lobby Day to be used to create a terrible media defeat for Second Amendment supporters. It is worth the read. Bracken lists several ways Lobby Day could be turned into another Charleston, or worse, to discredit Constitutionalists.

The opposition has the entire legacy media on their side. Northam and his allies control the ground at the Capitol. While many of the Capitol police are likely to be sympathetic to their oath and the Constitution, Northam and his allies will have control of the Capitol police. Northam and allies will control all the high ground. ...

It is getting about time to stop worrying about who gun owners offend. Seems the enemy needs to be offended.
