On Monday, January 20, 2020, tens of thousands of great\u00a0people\u00a0joined in\u00a0unity\u00a0for the\u00a0peaceful\u00a0Lobby\u00a0for your Rights Day<\/strong> in Richmond, Virginia. Despite reports by legacy media outlets of violence and cold weather, vehicles from several states parked along the cobblestone streets of Richmond to attend the nonviolent petition to our Government. Vehicles lined from Bank Street by the Capitol Building of Virginia to the James River Shockoe Bottom historic district. The people of Virginia clearly fell asleep prior to the election and now they\u2019re trying to stop a flood of anti-right gun control policies<\/strong>. Good luck with that in the short-term.<\/p>\n Being surrounded by so many well-armed citizens was an incredible experience: a great one. As one article headline read, it was \u201cThe Civil Rights March of Our Time.\u201d \u00a0It was upbeat, cheerful, diverse and worrisome. Worrisome in that so many pro-right Virginians did not show up to vote and get engaged with groups like VCDL (Virginia Citizens Defense League) in an ongoing fight to protect their Rights.<\/p>\n Virginia is not the only State guilty of the sin of not protecting our preexisting enumerated Rights. \u00a0I\u2019m guilty as well and I\u2019m trying to make up for my sins of \u201cnot showing up for so long\u201dand not cutting through the media propaganda of gun control. I had no clue until I came across a Louisiana great, Tom Gresham and his Gun Talk Radio\u2122 (GTR) in 2013 after I moved back to North Carolina from Boston. \u00a0After living in the great City of Boston, I craved more knowledge about firearms and the Second Amendment. Tom quickly become my \u201cSpiritual Advisor of All Things Second Amendment Related.” The scales quickly fell from my eyes. As you read from Dan Zelenka\u2019s article<\/a> about the \u201cGun Rights Policy Conference 2019\u201d (GRPC) by the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF.org)<\/a> it is not only an awakening, it is a great source of \u201cIntellectual Ammo,\u201d fun and will turn you into an effective Diplomat and Warrior to protect our Rights.<\/p>\n Back in Virginia, during the Lobby, I thought about all of the great people introduced to me in my Second Amendment Journey by GTR, GRPC, my own States\u2019 GRNC.org and all the diverse groups tied in with Alan\u00a0Gottleib\u2019s\u00a0Second Amendment Foundation. \u00a0I also thought about the years I lived and worked in Charlottesville, Culpeper and Orange, Virginia with several visits to Richmond. \u00a0In all of those years, Virginia didn\u2019t feel like it was under attack; it was, but I wasn\u2019t \u201cRed Pilled.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0The January 20th<\/span>, Lobby was certainly a defense\u00a0put up\u00a0by Pro-Right Americans under a well-funded\u00a0Anti-Right Bloomberg\u00a0attack.<\/p>\n If you do not attend or engage in Pro-Right Second Amendment Events and Lobbies, you should if you want future generations to experience our Freedoms. \u00a0If you already engage, please do more. As Tom recommends, spend twenty minutes a day in learning more about Second Amendment News, calling and writing your Representatives, donating a few dollars to your local Gun Right Groups and taking the uninitiated to a Gun Range. \u00a0It is the best inoculation to the gun control media\u2019s lies.<\/p>\n If you get a chance to see Richmond and walk the streets of the Lobby, please do. \u00a0James Madison\u2019s Montpelier in Orange, VA is not far from Richmond. \u00a0Walk the steps of Father of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It is an education in why we have the Second\u00a0Amendment. \u00a0Hanging out with people smarter and better than you in that walk will only help you lean in that direction.\u00a0You will be more effective and helpful just the like the folks who Lobbied in Richmond\u2026 Just do it ex ante<\/em> versus ex post facto<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Charlie Chambers On Monday, January 20, 2020, tens of thousands of great\u00a0people\u00a0joined in\u00a0unity\u00a0for the\u00a0peaceful\u00a0Lobby\u00a0for your Rights Day in Richmond, Virginia.
