As indicated by their refusal to obey something that was foisted on them without a public debate, they are not happy campers. And Northam is claiming that the Virginia Capitol Police recommended making guns <em>persona non grata\u00a0<\/em>in the capitol.\u00a0 They, however, are bluntly rebutting this statement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/wireStory\/virginia-lawmakers-set-vote-capitol-gun-ban-68194524\">https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/wireStory\/virginia-lawmakers-set-vote-capitol-gun-ban-68194524<\/a><\/p>\n<p>From the article:\u00a0Public officials have expressed concerns about planned Jan. 20 rallies that are set to draw huge crowds of pro-gun and gun-control advocates. Gun advocates from around Virginia and even out of state have pledged to turn out in force to highlight their resistance to proposed gun-control measures.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats initially indicated that the new ban had been recommended by law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just have to say that this is something that\u2019s been recommended by our Capitol Police. And I think there are times when we sort of have to trust what our law enforcement officers are telling us,\u201d House Majority Leader Charniele Herring said.<\/p>\n<p>But Capitol Police Col. Anthony Pike said after the vote that he made no recommendations on whether guns should be banned, only on how to implement the ban Democrats wanted. The new policy will require that everyone entering the Capitol, except for lawmakers, must go through a metal detector.<\/p>\n<p>GOP lawmakers accused Democrats of rushing through an unnecessary policy and then trying to lay it at the feet of Capitol Police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was a deliberate misrepresentation,\u201d said GOP Del. Kirk Cox. \u201cThere&#8217;s just no way around that.\u201d &#8211; article<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t going away, so keep your eyes and ears open and your powder dry.\u00a0 There are snakes everywhere, even if you can&#8217;t see them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rather froggy behavior of Northam, the new governor of Virginia, is having an effect on &hellip; <a title=\"Updates on Virginia Gun Issues\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=94240\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Updates on Virginia Gun Issues<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":653,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[220,82,156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94240","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-floggings-will-continue-until-morale-improves","category-gun-grabbing-fascists","category-guns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=94240"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94240\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":94436,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94240\/revisions\/94436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=94240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=94240"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=94240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
