For those planning to come to the annual Lobby Day at the Capitol on Monday, Governor Northam announced a temporary state of emergency beginning Friday extending to Tuesday morning, that includes a ban on firearms and other items that could be used as weapons on Capitol Grounds. He has also reduced the number of entrance points to one for Monday. All attendees will be required to enter through the entrance at 9th and Grace Street.

Has Governor Northam forgotten that this is a free society? Establishing choke points to stifle citizens from lobbying for their interests and their communities? Really Ralph??? Has Ralph come out of hiding??
We are very alarmed that Ralph and company have decided they can cancel the second amendment in Virginia. Which of the other amendments is next? Is establishing choke points an extreme action to deny citizens free speech in their own capital? Does it impair our right to freely assemble? Ralph and company will not stop here! Just as he has dodged taking responsibility for his own racist actions, he will rationalize that citizens who disagree with him and his party need to be choked off so they and their views will be quashed.
Ralph has already spoken and told us of his views on abortion and post birth homicide. He has refused to take responsibility for his own actions. Yes Ralph, people can change and leave behind poor decisions of their youth. But to do that one must admit to their mistakes, not hide from them. Don't treat those with whom you disagree with the same contempt you have for those infants whose mother doesn't want them. Those who support all of the Bill of Rights are not deplorables!
You would benefit from some leadership training! One definition of an extremist is one who paints all pro second amendment citizens with the same brush. This is what your temporary mandates for Jan. 20 have done. Since legal gunowners have views different from you, you have painted them as dangerous and probably violent citizens. Thus, the ban on their second amendment rights, the actions to limit their first amendment rights, and your actions to limit their right to freely assemble and lobby state lawmakers on their views. Shame, shame on you!!!
