Thousands of Second Amendment defenders and supporters made their way to Richmond, Virginia Monday to participate in lobbying lawmakers against new gun control proposals.

Townhall's Julio Rosas is on the ground and will bring us information throughout the day.

Good morning. Here in Richmond for @townhallcom to cover the gun rights rally outside the statehouse. Lots of people are choosing to stay outside of the security zone. pic.twitter.com/73F9DhgRCN — Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) January 20, 2020

More signs in Richmond: "No Republican ever called me an incel" and "Armed minorities are harder to oppress." pic.twitter.com/MF8PFQehHd — Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) January 20, 2020

Cam Edwards, editor of BearingArms, is also there.

The crowd is filling the capitol square now. Chants of “USA, USA” from various sections of the crowd. #LobbyDay2020 pic.twitter.com/RwU59FkxJE — Cam Edwards (@CamEdwards) January 20, 2020

Made it inside the capitol grounds. Several thousand people inside. I’d say at least ten thousand outside the perimeter. #LobbyDay2020 pic.twitter.com/dCYzurtZ4z — Cam Edwards (@CamEdwards) January 20, 2020

Several thousand gun owners and #2A supporters in downtown Richmond. Everyone I’ve talked to says there here to peacefully protest Ralph Northam’s anti-gun agenda. pic.twitter.com/oV0H1t0d2O — Cam Edwards (@CamEdwards) January 20, 2020

Throughout the morning Second Amendment advocates debunked leftist media talking points about the event and disposed of their narratives.
