    I’m posting a second thread about 2A/Gun Rights activity the Special Session of the Virginia General Assembly today in Richmond, to feature additional info about the NRA-ILA Rally also going on there now.

    I’m keeping it separate from the thread already open in this Neighborhood section (“Virginia”) about the Virginia Citizen Defense League’s Rally at the State Capitol in Richmond today, out of respect for VCDL and its members’ intense and unrelenting hostility toward the NRA, and their absolute refusal to join or share in any pro-2A effort with the NRA or NRA-ILA.

    The NRA-ILA is meeting up in the 6th floor Conference Center of the Pocahontas Building now, 10- 12 PM today.

    Patriot Picket is at the State Capitol today to support the effort!

    John Commerford, who did such an excellent job on behalf of the NRA-ILA at the last session of the MD General Assembly, is heading up the effort in Richmond today.

    The second purpose of this thread is to highlight the fact that NRA-ILA has been active, on-track and continuing to focus in both MD and VA on the gun bill issues (including the MD HPRB veto effort) despite the turmoil at the NRA HQ:

    NRA-ILA is also organizing NRA members to lobby the VA legislators before and during the Special Session today, and has brought NRA-ILA hats and lobbying materials to hand out:

    Bloomberg the Little Billionaire is leading the way to gun and mag bans, confiscation and endless infringement in Virginia, sending in his own truckloads of cash to mix it with Big Democrat Money from California and Texas.

    Bloomberg has also sent in his Red Mommie Brigades to wipe out the Republican majority in both chambers of the VA General Assembly, and to take down the NRA:

    NRA-ILA held meetings state-wide for NRA members in advance of today’s legislative Special Session, including packed (and closed to the press!) meetings in Fredericksburg, Virginia Beach, and in Accomack County on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

    Patriot Picket was there for the Accomack County NRA-ILA Special Session briefing last Tuesday in Belle Haven.

    Below, Jeff Hulbert talks with John Commerford of NRA-ILA and with NRA members before the meeting:

    NRA-ILA hired out the huge Exmore Moose Lodge meeting hall on Merry Cat Lane in Belle Haven, VA on the Eastern Shore.

    A very large crowd of NRA members turned out to listen to the speakers describe the upcoming legislative Special Session and to ask questions about the corrupt Gov. Northam Bedford Forrest’s proposed anti-gun bills:

    John Commerford (below, center) did an outstanding job of answering questions about the key issues likely to be encountered in the legislative Special Session today.

    John is the Deputy Managing Director of the NRA-ILA for State and Local Affairs: both MD and VA have been receiving the attention of the highest level of the NRA-ILA this year.

    Discussing the politics of the upcoming Session was Delegate Robert Bloxom, Jr. (R) of Accomack County (100th District), left.

    Also introduced was Ray Mock (right), who serves the Virginia Beach/VA Eastern Shore region as the Campaign Field Representative for the NRA-ILA.

    Ray can be reached directly at (703) 980-6455 and by email at Ray@nrailafrontlines.com

    Patriots well armed with pistols stood for liberty outdoors, while other Patriots lined up outside the General Assembly office building this morning and outnumbered the Red Mommies (h/t Stoveman for pics and video stills):

    A beautiful day to stand for American Freedom, in contrast to the silly Unicorns & Rainbows leftists (residents of the “State of Vaginia”) milling about like frightened sheep below.

    Bah bah, bleak sheep ...

    (H/t again to Stoveman for great pics)
