Fearing a repeat of the deadly violence that engulfed Charlottesville more than two years ago, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam plans to declare a temporary emergency Wednesday banning all weapons, including guns, from Capitol Square ahead of a massive rally planned next week over gun rights.
That's according to two state officials who were briefed on the plans but not authorized to speak publicly about them. The governor, a Democrat, plans to announce the plans at a news conference Wednesday afternoon because of credible threats of potential violence and extremism, one official said.

He is running scared about next week's Pro-Gun rally in Richmond.
When blood is spilled there, he will use this declaration as cover.

This is like punching someone in the face and then you call them an extremist when they punch back.

Northam is like a cartoon character. This will be the classic case of unarmed citizens surrounded by an armed government.

Governor Blackface Babykiller, champion of the fourth trimester abortion, is a Norfolk schmuck with his 19th century accent. As we say in Virginia Beach, he's part of what makes Norfolk grate.

You can't fix stupid. And the stupidity here isn't the governor or Congress that will pass this insanity. Sure, they are definitely stupid and evil.
But it's the voters that actually elected them to office when they said clearly what they were going to do that are the problem!!!!

Antifa too? I doubt it. Antifa is the left's storm troopers and are loved and protected by the left. You can bet Antifa will be there, and they will have clubs, pepper spray, mace and anything else they can think of - and they will be turned loose on the unarmed rally attenders.

He should ban cars...I do believe that was the weapon of choice in Charlottesville.

Why is Blackface still in office? Any Republican would have been long gone. Blackface's credibility is zero.

When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. Someone please do some research on how many killings took place in gun-free zones and send it to the Blackface Baby Killer.

He isn’t afraid of violence - he WANTS violence used against the marchers. He IS afraid of law-abiding citizens bearing arms.

Didn’t the governor order the state police to stand down during the “deadly violence that engulfed Charlottesville?”

Soon to come from Marxist Communist democrats;
As the Supreme Court has not ordered Virginia and other states to obey the 2 Amendment to not infringe on the rights of citizens to carry arms, we the elected political leadership are hereby banning all guns in the state of Virginia. Turn them in to government police officers or face years in jail if you are not killed when the state has to come and take them from you.

See? Both houses and the governor and lt. governor in Democrat hands?
Media covers for them and destroys any evidence of blackface, sex assault and post-birth abortion.
Next step: whatever disasters follow these draconian measures will be the fault of Trump voters and the Trump administration

Northam is a world class jerk. Why not ban knives while you are at it? Look at what happened to that young college student in NY two weeks ago.She was stabbed to death by black teenagers. Oh, that's right. She was white and her killers were black. Nothing to get upset over; let's move on.

I left Vermont when it was becoming demented, moving to nice, sensible, patriotic Virginia. Maybe I’m bad luck. Where to next?

Governor Fuhrer's law is unconstitutional. Challenge it in SCOTUS and have them say so.

Interesting side show coming up here. If rural Virginians are made up of the same stuff they were forty years ago, the show will stop here.

Probably has the idea of arresting people who show up with ARs slung over their shoulders at the rally.

And what will you security be carrying, Schiffbag? Bats and your purse? He's inciting rioting by claiming to prevent it.

#19, you are incorrect.
I used to live about 50 miles from Charlottesville, and it is in Virginia. Home of the University of Virginia, founded by Thomas Jefferson. And Jefferson's Monticello is very nearby.

I've always preferred the traditional pitchfork for this kind of thing, anyway.

I expect there will be some significant 'false flag' events at that rally. ANTIFA type infiltrators (or perhaps even actual government operatives) sneak in with guns, or something else to make the protectors of the Constitution look bad.

#17, Northam wasn’t governor at that time. It was Clinton bag man Terry McAuliffe who sat by and watched the violence escalate after telling the police to stand down.

Coonman Northam is a simple fascist who is afraid of the people he was elected to govern. His fear is well founded.

#20, that would clearly be the state capitol, not the national capitol which isn't even in his state, as you pointed out.

The Commucrats of Antifa will have them, use them, and then blame conservatives. The Media, who are likely part of the planning for it, will immediately call for the confiscation of anything that even remotely resembles a firearm. These are very dangerous times.
