Amid three radical gun bills being proposed by Virginia’s Democrat legislature, activists are showing up in droves on Monday in freezing temperatures to protest the gun grab at the state capitol in Richmond.
Breitbart News weaved through the crowd talking to people from all over the state of Virginia and interviewing attendees, some coming all the way from Tennessee and Connecticut.
Some people worse “Guns Save Lives” buttons, while others carried signs and waved American flags.
One man named Craig from Fredricksburg, VA said, “The fact that [Gov. Northam] has got to hide behind fences like a king in ‘Braveheart,’ I think it’s complete and utter garbage.”
One lady named Wendy said, “Get up and do something. We can’t all be keyboard warriors. We all need to get up. We all need to come out and show our numbers…. We are no longer the sleeping giant.”
One lady from Connecticut said, “We’re here to celebrate and stand up for our Second Amendment rights that shall not be infringed by the lunatic Democrat policies.” She said, “We came down to stand in solidarity with our Virginian brothers and sisters.”
A woman named Christina, who is a travel nurse held a sign reading, “I’m a nurse. I save lives. Let me protect mine.” She said, “This is a constitutional right we’re talking about. I’m an army brat, and my father fought for these rights, his father fought for these rights, and it goes way farther back from that. I’m from Yorktown, Virginia. I literally live on battlefields.”
The far-reaching gun legislation proposed in Virginia includes a “gun-free zone” bill, a gun rationing bill to restrict the buying of firearms, and a bill that would ban the sales of firearms between private individuals.
One gun confiscation bill was withdrawn last week amid massive protests at the Capitol. A similar result is what the gun-grab protesters hope will happen by their presence.
Virginia gun groups are urging gun rights supporters to restrain from acting in any way hostile to violent protesters, as it will reflect badly on the pro-gun movement.
Some attendees held signs about Virginia Gov. Northam’s infamous blackface photographs, which Democrats have appeared to sweep under the rug, despite the massive racism involved in them.
Triggered c-list celebrity Alyssa Milano apparently couldn’t handle the patriotic protest, posting a video of protesters, with the caption, “This is what’s happening in Virginia right now. Trump’s America.”
