A proposed amendment to a 30-year-old Virginia law would make it illegal to bring a firearm to any gathering if it can be proven that the goal was to 'intimidate any person or group of persons by drilling, parading, or marching with any firearm."
In short, if someone brings a firearm to a permitted event such as the ill-fated United the Right rally, and it can be argued that their goal was to intimidate Antifa counter-protesters as opposed to carrying in self-defense, that person could be subject to Class 5 felony charges under the amendment introduced by State Senator Louise Lucas (D-18th District).
The amendment stems from a lawsuit brought against Unite the Right organizer (and professional provocateur) Jason Kessler and several militia groups, accusing them of violating the state's existing statute governing "unlawful paramilitary activity." As a result of the lawsuit, "eleven named defendants had signed consent decrees in which they are “permanently enjoined from returning to Charlottesville, Virginia, as part of a unit of two or more persons acting in concert while armed with a firearm, weapon, shield, or any item whose purpose is to inflict bodily harm, at any demonstration, rally, protest, or march.”," according to IREHR.

The governor is a Clintonite, Soros pervert. No wonder. Scalise him.
This is what happens when conservatives sit at home watching TV instead of going to vote
the Democrats came out to vote....now you are feeling the consequences of being a couch sitter.
My hands are ready, as usual!!
This is the most unconstitutional "law" ever proposed! What a joke!
You shouldn’t say such terrible things considering we live in a time of actual active shooters. In your day their wasn’t such a thing. Just saying. If you need help call out and get it. Things are ok.
That knocks the hell out any military, or 4th of July parade
