Prospect of gun control in Virginia draws threats, promise of armed protest

RICHMOND — Gun rights advocates and militia members from around the country are urging thousands of armed protesters to descend on Virginia's capital later this month to stop newly empowered Democrats from passing gun-control bills.

What began as a handful of rural Virginia counties declaring themselves “Second Amendment sanctuaries” has jumped the state’s borders and become an Internet phenomenon. Far-right websites and commenters are declaring that Virginia is the place to take a stand against what they see as a national trend of weakening gun rights.

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.

Just be ready to be the enemy of the state and to have your picture taken and your life investigated so they can put you on a list... You do know this is a test bed, to see how many and who will show up and what will they brings or do... You will be targeted...

ANTIFA AND MS-13 are already there, and why would they need to be there for a 2nd amendment protest??
