Richmond, Virginia pro 2nd amendment rally

January 20, 2020



The amendments to the United States Constitution are part of what sets our country apart from other countries. These 27 amendments were put in place to help protect the citizens and limit the reach of the government. Recently making headlines across the country is the Virginia Governor Ralph Northam and the states representatives proposing legislation to ban all semi-automatic weapons, turning you into a felon if you do not turn in your rightfully and legally owned firearm.

This of course led to a huge backlash throughout the country. With calls of protest from pro 2nd amendment activists the date was set to rally in Richmond Virginia in front of the capital building.

Almost as soon as the date was announced (January 20th) the mainstream media began to demonize and condemn the protest. If you were to watch the major news networks, you would have thought that the 2nd American civil war would start in Virginia. With armed “right-winged, white nationals” and left-wing agitators this spelled disaster for the country.

Today, January 20, 2020, over 20 thousand patriots showed up to the capital building of Virginia and many of them carrying the very weapons Governor Ralph Northam said he would confiscate. No violence ensued, in fact the footage that came out of the protest was the exact opposite of what the corporate news outlets led us to believe.

Ethnicities of all sorts standing side by side, right and left-wing protesters standing together. For the first time in a long time both sides of the political aisle have common ground and displayed it peacefully today in Richmond, Virginia. When it was all said and done everyone went home and no one was hurt, some people even stayed to clean up the mess that was left behind.

Most importantly , today we saw the American people; black, white, brown, left, and right peacefully use their 1st amendment to protect our 2nd amendment.

The positive take away from the past few days culminating in Virginia today is that you can never underestimate the American people. Yes, we might have different political views, we might see the world different from one another and yes, it might get heated from time to time. But when liberty is threatened by the powers that be, the good will of the American people persists. Although the news giants saw doom and gloom today what we really saw was the American spirit alive and well.
