RALPH NORTHAM SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO VIRGINIA GUN OWNERS,\u2019 SAYS CCRKBA<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>BELLEVUE, WA \u2013 Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam should apologize to the thousands of gun owners who turned out Monday for their annual, and peaceful, Second Amendment rally, and to the thousands more his hysteria kept away, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFollowing a peaceful gathering of law-abiding gun owners protesting the gun control extremism of Northam and his Democrat colleagues in the General Assembly,\u201d said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb,\u201d Gov. Northam should beg forgiveness from every Virginia resident his Chicken Little drama both offended and demonized over the past several days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNortham\u2019s paranoid emergency disarmament order ignored years of peaceful tradition and treated Commonwealth gun owners as common criminals,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt appears to us that his true motive was not public safety, but discouraging as many angry Virginia grassroots activists as he could from participating in Monday\u2019s rally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow many more thousands of Virginia citizens did not attend Monday\u2019s peaceful rally because of the governor\u2019s alarmist rhetoric about possible violence,\u201d Gottlieb wondered. \u201cWe will likely never know the answer, but what we do know is that this anti-rights governor and his Democrat cronies now in control of the Assembly are worried about the hornet\u2019s nest their gun control crusade has kicked repeatedly since the November election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s huge turnout in Richmond, and last Friday\u2019s rally in Olympia, Washington sent a message that America\u2019s law-abiding firearms owners are not about to just go quietly in the night,\u201d he observed. \u201cAfter months of demonization by Democrat presidential candidates, and a winter\u2019s worth of gun control threats from Virginia\u2019s new Democrat majority, the wrath of citizen activists has been sparked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRalph Northam owes his citizens an apology,\u201d Gottlieb stated. \u201cHis gun-hating hysteria has spawned a remarkable Second Amendment Sanctuary movement that we support and hope to see expand in the months ahead. Grassroots gun enthusiasts are fed up. We are tired of being treated like second-class citizens because we defend the Second Amendment that Northam would like to destroy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018GOV.
