Thousands attend Virginia gun rally. Ends without incident.

Despite warnings of violence from Governor Northam and the Democrat led legislature in Virginia there was no violence today as a crowd of thousands gathered at the statehouse in Richmond. Crowd estimates are as high as over 20,000 many of whom were carrying their weapons openly. Most were there for the Virginia Citizen Defense League's annual lobby day event, to protest proposed gun control bills Virginia Democrats plan to pass this year.

Governor Northam released a statement following the rally thanking the law enforcement teams for de-esclating what could have been a "volatile situation." He gave no credit to the thousands of peaceful gun owners who showed up.

Virginia General Assembly elections do not occur again until November 2021. The Virginia Senate has passed several gun control bills already, and both chambers plan to advance more bills in the near future.

Here are a few videos from the national coverage of the event. Leave your comments on Facebook and Fred will use them on air.
