A Virginia State Senator shared a dire warning Friday on her Facebook Page to 2nd Amendment Advocates planning to attend the upcoming gun rally in Richmond: “…we are being set up.”
Senator Amanda Chase (R) – Virginia’s 11th District
Gun rights supporters are preparing to converge on Richmond for a lobbying day and a rally Monday morning. They’re opposed to efforts by Virginia Democrats — who’ve taken over control of the Virginia legislature following the November 2019 elections — to pass a slate of gun control bills.
The event, hosted by Virginia Citizens Defense League, is expected to draw thousands of armed demonstrators, some from out of state. Organizers have said they hope to hold a peaceful event.
The public outrage at Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s extreme anti-Second Amendment push has been intense as a majority of cities, towns, and counties in the state have declared themselves to be Second Amendment sanctuaries.
Senator Amanda Chase (R) took to her Facebook Page and made the following post to her followers:
“Sadly, I am posting this, knowing that the Governor of Virginia has declared a State of Emergency in our state.
I want you to be aware of how we are being set up.
Does the Patriot Act ring a bell?
Does the National Defense Authorization Act ring a bell?
If people show up wearing any kind of uniform, patch or other symbol on their clothing signifying they belong to a militia and something goes wrong, you could/will be held as a domestic terrorist.
If anyone steps out of line, all it takes is one person, it may even be a government plant….if that plant does anything to disrupt the rally, you could/will be arrested as a domestic terrorist.
The Governor, using the media has already set the stage for this to happen.
He has already laid the groundwork to make the entire movement look like insurrection.It will be used to put the rest of the nation on notice of what will happen to you, if you resist.
They have used the Southern Poverty Law Center over the last 15 years to lay the groundwork.
They have labeled us as potential domestic terrorist for a long time now.
Anyone who has ever related to the 3%er’s, a militia, or just belonged to any Patriot group…the groundwork has been laid to brand you as a domestic terrorist.
They have gone out of their way since the Obama years to insure they had us labeled, but it didn’t start with Obama. It started with the Patriot Act under the Bush administration.
We are being played by a well oiled machine, these things have been in the works for many years.
They are kicking things into high gear. Military veterans were/are even listed as potential domestic terrorist.
We were told not once, but several times by the current President, “It’s Not Me they are after, It’s You, The American People.“
Their actions over the last three years have shown you he was right, they are coming after us full speed ahead and they aren’t even trying to hide it anymore.
Sic semper tyrannis, keep your head on a swivel and know what’s going on around you at all times, at Lobby Day 1/20/20.
Everyone be safe out there….Thus always to tyrants.”
Senator Chase appeared on the Jan 3, 2020 vlog cast of the “True Conservatives Minutes” embedded below to discuss many of the issues facing the pro-second amendment movement in the state:
As gun rights activists, prepare to rally at the state Capitol on Monday to protest proposed gun control laws, many residents are praying it won’t be a repeat of the violent 2017 rally in Charlottesville that ended in a woman’s death.
