Virginia Democrat Governor Ralph Northam praised NRA members for being peaceful during a press conference on Wednesday as he continues to face intense backlash over his extreme anti-freedom agenda, which has included proposals to ban and confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens.
Northam made the remarks as he declared a state of emergency in anticipation of thousands of the thousands of Virginians that are going to be participating in the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) rally next Monday in Richmond, Virginia.
“Virginia is always open for citizens of our state to meet with the elected leaders peacefully,” Northam began. “That remains the case this coming Monday. Hundreds of Virginians do this everyday.”
…
The NRA responded to Northam’s remarks in a statement from Jason Ouimet, executive director, NRA Institute for Legislative Action: “If Virginia Gov. Northam sincerely respects the efforts of the NRA and its 5 million members, he can demonstrate that respect by not infringing our rights.

Respects our rights to meet wit our “leaders” peacefully… but will be sending his VASTAPO out to cancel our rights. This is a guy who murders defenseless infants and now wants to render adults equally defenseless… what could possibly go wrong?
“… what could possibly go wrong?” Everything. The 2nd A was put in to specifically oppose “tyrannical government”. Northam’s behavior is the epitome of tyrannical government. Open letter to VA NRA members: never quit!!!
Before and as the rally happens tomorrow, say a prayer for the patriots attending, whether armed (outside) or unarmed. We need a Mighty Power to keep the sanity and avoid violence. God Bless.
Agreed … be well.
