Originally posted by JimLamebrain View PostSo what are you saying, that there are limitations?
In other words, if a case can be made that a law abiding citizen should be allowed to wield a certain weapon, it makes no sense to ban that weapon just because someone might use it to commit a crime. Personally, I can not think of any good reason why a law abiding citizen should be allowed to have a nuclear weapon, so that would be an obvious exception.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Northam declares state of emergency, Capitol weapon ban ahead of gun rights rally
RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT/AP) - Fearing a repeat of the deadly violence that engulfed Charlottesville more than two years ago, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam declared a temporary emergency Wednesday banning all weapons, including guns, from Capitol Square ahead of a massive rally planned next week over gun rights.
The governor, a Democrat, announced the plans at a news conference Wednesday afternoon because of credible threats of potential violence and extremism, one official said.
“Let me be clear. These are considered credible threats by law enforcement agencies,” Gov. Ralph Northam said.
Northam’s announcement comes days after Democratic leaders used a special rules committee to ban guns inside the Capitol and a legislative office building. That ban did not include Capitol grounds, which are under the governor’s control and are where thousands of gun-rights advocates are expected to rally Monday.

It's starting to look a bit testy in Richmond. Supposedly this YT channel is going to live stream the gun rally on Monday.

The best way to stop a mass killer is a good guy, armed, willing to take him out."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.
