"I'm in Richmond and have just received information from a very reliable source concerning Monday's rally against the legislature's gun grabs. Antifa have rented seven buses to bring in their thugs to cause trouble. The report says they will be wearing MAGA hats and wearing NRA garb. They will pretend to be pro gun people. Meanwhile others posing as democrats holding anti gun signs will stand on the side. The Antifa thugs, pretending to be pro gun, will attack the sign holders. Making it look like the pro gun people have started violence. This is the plan. If you are attending the rally be aware. Be very careful."On Friday State Senator Amanda Chase issued a warning to those attending the Monday rally. "We are being set up!" (Gateway Pundit, Jan. 18, 2020)
"Senator Chase wrote this on her Facebook page. "I want you to be aware of how we are being set up. "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." "They have labeled us as potential domestic terrorists for a long time now. "…The groundwork has been laid to brand you as a domestic terrorist.
"I think it's been pretty important for us to focus on the fact that gun control in America has a legacy of racist enforcement," an Antifa Seven Hills spokesperson called "James", a self-identified anarchist who withheld his real name for fear of getting doxxed, told Vice. "Like taking guns away from black people, because black people were perceived as a threat to property and the sanctity of the state."It is antifa and other far left activists and anarchists who get to do the "doxxing". Why would anyone take the word of an antifa representative called "James"? How many James' are out there? "Police are scouring the internet for clues about plans for mayhem, workers are putting up chain link holding pens around Virginia's picturesque Capitol Square, and one lawmaker even plans to hide in a safe house in advance of what's expected to be an unprecedented show of force by gun-rights activists.

"To the "armed left," gun control represents the rise of a police state and the oppression of minorities made powerless by disarmament, but it's a class issue as well. (Daily Caller) "In the case of Antifa Seven Hills, they believe they've got more in common with working-class white Virginians, regardless of their political bent, than they do with many of the moderate Democrats who helped their party win control of the Legislature in November, for the first time since 1994," Vice reported, adding that the group sees the coming January 20 rally "as an opportunity to extend an olive branch to other gun owners — at least those who don't align with the far-right militias or white supremacists who are also expected to show up to the event.""We're not going to be quiet anymore. We're going to fight them in the courts and on the ground. The illegal laws they're proposing are just straight up unconstitutional," said Timothy Forster, of Chesterfield, Virginia, an NRA member who had one handgun strapped to his shoulder and another tucked into his waistband as he stood outside a legislative office building earlier this week."

"James declined to "discuss" the group's "plans" should white supremacist groups join the protests." (Daily Caller)But wait a minute didn't the FBI already say it had arrested three men linked to a violent white supremacist group Thursday who were planning to attend the rally in Richmond? Well, at least according to a law enforcement official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss an active investigation.
"Virginia Governor Ralph Northam has declared a state of emergency and banned firearms on Capitol grounds."(Daily Caller) Now that the Democrats have their own governor in Ralph Northam in up to now Republican Virginia, they're going after citizens' guns. Northam, who pioneered after-birth abortion, must have a lot of respect for life. Meanwhile, if you're headed out for the 2nd Amendment rally tomorrow, expect to be accosted by antifa pretending to be MAGA advocates.
