As citizens and militia groups prepare for a Jan. 20 march on Richmond in protest of Democrats' shameless gun control measures, the commonwealth's governor has declared a state of emergency in an attempt to disarm the protesting citizens.

Governor Ralph Northam issued Executive Order 49 on Wednesday, a "declaration of a state of emergency due to potential civil unrest at the Virginia state capitol."

Northam linked the upcoming march to the white nationalist event that turned into a disaster in Charlottesville, Virginia, vowing to never let it happen again.

"Credible intelligence gathered by Virginia’s law enforcement agencies indicates that tens of thousands of advocates plan to converge on Capitol Square for events culminating on January 20, 2020," Northam wrote in the order.
