Virginia declares state of emergency over 2nd amendment rally at the capitol

Yes you can. That’s a misrepresentation the left likes to cite but is totally false.

You are banned from inciting a panic. That’s it.
The word fire is not banned or restricted. But an action that causes harm to others is banned/illegal. If there is a fire, by all means shout it.

Much like harming another with a firearm is illegal, unless it’s a justifiable usage. And that’s not considered a restriction on the 2nd.

But banning the “fire” itself would be an infringement on the 1st, just like banning types of firearms would be an infringement on the second.

Congratulations. Your point proves the opposite of what you think it does.

They should all be very, very afraid, who knows, there may be a couple of dozen of them in a crowd of thousands on Monday.

:rofl:

Just like leftwing extremists like ANTIFA and OWS, rightwing extremists will attempt to use legitimate right wing protests to promote their own interests.

We’re always told however that when ANTIFA and similar groups use leftwing protests to promote their cause, it’s just a few nuts taking advantage of the situation but if 3 out of every thousand protesters at a rightwing function look or act like White Nationalist, KKK, etc the whole of the right wing protesting is tarred and feathered with the same broad brush.

Just look back to Charlottesville. A few hundred Neo Nazi/Whit supremacists show up at a protest against taking down statues along with thousands of others and everyone of them is labeled as part of the WN/WS movement.

Or it means they know if they hear it they can only rule one way and they don’t like it.

The Myth. You might want to look at that case.

don’t go to neo-nazi rally if you don’t want to be associated with neo-nazi’s.

The Neo Nazi’s came to a rally that was scheduled and organized by others.

Charlottesville was organized by neo-nazi’s.

No, the protest against taking the statues down was organized locally.

The WN’s and NN’s decided to piggy back onto it and use it for their own purposes.

The effort to preserve the statues had been going on long prior to the WN’s/NN’s getting involved and hijacking it for their own purposes.

It was organized by Jason Kessler, he was the person who applied for the permits.

Jason Kesssler is a neo-nazi.

Not sure why my reply to you was deleted… but…

I guessed you had no evidence. I can’t prove that you do or do not. Only you can do that.

No, it was originally organized by the local group cited above.

Kessler and his crew decided to use it for their own purposes.

Kressler is the one who applied and got the permit for the event.

Yes, we all know this, it isn’t even in contention.

The move to save the statues and planning of the rally predate Kessler’s application.

The Right is “keep and bare,” not just “keep.”

So there we are, stalemated.

Sort of. Yes the lower court can rule on Constitutionality, but they do not have the last word. Until the Fat Lady sings, the question remains open, and since the SCOUS only hears a small number of appeals, there are more questions then answers.

It is noteworthy, that the lower Court in the Heller case ruled that the 2nd Amendment did not apply in D.C. because they are not a State. How whacked would that be Constitutionally if the SCOTUS had not heard the appeal?

Yes you can. There is no such restriction on that over used falsehood.

Of course you can. That example was never given any force of law and wasn’t even cited by the majority in that case.

What you can’t do is incite to riot, slander, or libel others, or use your speech to otherwise harm others.

The keeping and bearing of arms by law abiding citizens neither harms anyone else, nor does it infringe on anyone’s rights in any way.

Apparently that was enough to declare a state of emergency … even though they broadcast their intent and were apprehended before leaving the gate.

This is all fishy as hell since the governor stated early last week he’d declare an emergency and bar firearms carry on capitol grounds.
