Virginia declares State of Emergency for Jan 20. The governor said law enforcement had intercepted “extremist rhetoric” similar to the lead-up to Charlottesville days before pro-gun activists are holding a rally.
Event organizers say as many as 100,000 could show up.
In addition to banning all weapons on Capitol grounds, the governor unified command between state police, Capitol police, the Richmond police department, and the city's first responder teams.
