As Twitchy reported Wednesday, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has declared a state of emergency in the state capital because tens of thousands are expected to move on Richmond to express their support for the Second Amendment. The declaration bans citizens from bearing firearms and other weapons on the block surrounding the Capitol. The ban began at 5 p.m. Friday and will remain in effect until 5 p.m. Tuesday.
On Saturday, Jesse Kelly called out Gov. “Coonman” Northam over the emergency declaration:
VA Leftists try to make hundreds of thousands of their own citizens felons with a new law, prompting protests by those citizens. Then the government digs up a couple “white supremacists” to justify a state of emergency and ensure a disarmed public.
Basically, every tyrant ever. https://t.co/ghLms3ujfA

Governor Northam just wants you all disarmed for your own safety. Honestly. You should trust him. Also, make sure you register your weapons with the Virginia state police. Government would never use that to abuse your rights. Just be a good little sheep.

Your father’s Democratic Party is gone. The mask is off. This Democratic Party has no intention of leaving you alone. You just watch what’s about to happen in Virginia. It’s a preview of what’s coming when they take power again nationally.

Our justice system won’t prosecute a single government employee for abusing your rights, but you can bet they’ll throw you in a jail cell if you violate their gun laws. They’re already threatening the National Guard.
Things are changing in America. Be ready.
That’s all.

Now anyone that opposes gun laws is a white supremacist

The irony is one of the "supremacists" is a Canadian who overstayed a visa or some such and is now an illegal immigrant.

It’s true; he crossed the border illegally near Minnesota in August.
The amount of State manipulation and gaslighting is mind-blowing. ? #Trump2020Landslide #2A #blackfaceNortham

Leftists/Libs always double down. This will end badly for them.

Oath of Office Violation.
His job is to preserve, protect & defend the U.S. Constitution. How do We, the People inforce his compliance with the Oath he took? @Scotus @TheJusticeDept @realDonaldTrump

Not just that, but he’s declaring the capitol grounds a “shelter” in order to make it a gun free zone during this “emergency.” Though you could argue this abuse of power is indeed becoming an emergency.

Talk about abuse of power.

This. Everyone should know about this.

Exactly right! @GovernorVA #CoonMan is creating an elaborate drama and scripting it for all to see.

The most peaceful people there will be the Demonstrators. Who knows what the cowardly Governor will do?

This whole thing is a trap set to trip to rationalize their wholesale violation of the fundamental rights of the people of VA. Be very wary if you plan to enter that cage that they have built.
— Pinin' for the Fjords (@DahlkeMichael) January 18, 2020
Looks like a leftist setup for chaos.
— Bob (@StrawnBob) January 18, 2020
Nothing to see here…just wait til Monday evening when they blame any violence on pro-2A folks.

Pretty sure they have metal detectors at the Capital …
— Herbert woodbery (@HWoodbery) January 18, 2020
They've already said they would have detectors there.
You may protest inside of a cage they've set up on the capital grounds.
But only after being searched with metal detectors.
All cellphones will be tapped, and facial recognition cameras will be present.
Communist China! 🙂

I'm watching to see how "temporary" this ban lasts.
— linda (@nuumite) January 18, 2020
No guns except for his security team?

They really want this to turn into a white supremacist shit show. They will not have it any other way.
— Susan Jean (@Gislana449Susan) January 18, 2020
They elected a white supremacist, he wears blackface for fun.
— Randy (@_MNmisfit) January 18, 2020
they're purposely creating a Charlottesville 2.0 so they can deem protesters domestic terrorists
— Audrey (@thecelticclubwp) January 18, 2020
And you know the media will be watching with bated breath as they did with all their reports on the mass shootings that were going to happen at “Joker” screenings.
