Virginia Gov. Declares State Of Emergency Ahead Of Gun Rights Rally

A gun rights rally is scheduled in Richmond on January 20th, with a state of emergency declared to ban firearms at the Virginia State Capitol Grounds. This decision follows intelligence about potential attendance by out-of-state militia and hate groups. The rally organizers, Virginia Citizens Defense League, aim for a peaceful protest against proposed gun control legislation, expecting up to 50,000 attendees. The context includes a reference to the 2017 Charlottesville incident, where a car attack during a rally led to fatalities and injuries, highlighting the need for better coordination and preparation.
