Peaceful Second Amendment supporters headed to Richmond, Virginia for the annual gun rights lobby day. The goal was simple: encourage Virginia legislators to protect and uphold Virginians' right to keep and bear arms. As it currently stands, Gov. Ralph Northam (D) has set forth an aggressive anti-gun agenda, which includes banning so-called "assault rifles," universal background checks and implementing extreme risk protection orders, commonly referred to as red f**g laws.
Progressive darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) attempted to compare Monday's peaceful protests to the violent Black L***s M****r r**ts in Baltimore and New York City. Apparently she failed to see what police had a heavy presence after the death of Eric Garner in NYC and Freddie Gray in Baltimore.
"You know, one thing I've really been sitting and thinking with today, there's this gun rights protest that's happening down in Richmond and on MLK Day. And here's the image that has struck with me the most about that. It's that when we go out and march for the dignity and the recognition of the lives of people, like Freddie Gray and Eric Garner, the whole place is surrounded by police in r**t gear, without a gun in sight," she explained during an event. "And here are all of these people, flying Confederate f**gs with semi-automatic weapons and there's almost no police officers at that protest."
"So who or what are our institutions protecting from who?" AOC asked the host. "And that image conveys it all. Conveys it all."
First of all, there is absolutely no comparison between the Richmond gun rights rally and the Black L***s M****r r**ts in Baltimore and NYC. When Freddie Gray died, Black L***s M****r was started and r**ts broke out across the country. People were blocking roads, staging "sit-ins" and "die-ins." They failed to listen to police and were extremely disorderly.
When Eric Garner was k**led in 2015, r****rs caused $9 million in damages to 285 businesses. There were 150 vehicle fires, more than 60 structure fires and 113 officers injured. Why? Because people were l**ting.
How much damage did people in Richmond cause? Zero. How much l**ting took place? None. How many people were injured? Zip.
According to Townhall's own Julio Rosas who was on the ground, very few Confederate f**gs were seen. In fact, American f**gs were the common thread amongst people of all races. And guess what? Almost every single person in Richmond was a law-abiding patriot. They were there to make their voices heard, not to cause a r**t or to stir up an issue with law enforcement.
Maybe you should do some research or take a trip to a pro-gun rally sometime, Alexandria. You'd be very shocked to learn that the gun community is one of the most accepting groups of people out there. They don't care what race, creed, g****r you are or what background you come from. All we care about is protecting each individual's right to keep and bear arms.

AOC to billionaires: “you sat on a couch while thousands of people were paid modern day s***e wages”
by Team Bongino Posted: January 21, 2020
Socialist congresswoman and “squad” member, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lashed out at successful business owners yesterday, claiming they pay s***e wages and profit off the backs of “black and brown” people.
The Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra highlighted her comments in which she claimed people were “literally dying” because they can’t afford to live while working for billionaires.
During an interview at a Martin Luther King Day event, AOC was asked a hypothetical question by the interviewer: “I’m Joe Billionaire. I made widgets. I sold widgets I made billions of dollars selling those widgets, making those widgets, therefore those billions of dollars are mine. Why am I the enemy of health care?”
She replied, “Well, you didn’t make those widgets, did you? Because you employed thousands of people and paid them less than a living wage to make those widgets for you. You didn’t make those widgets.”
“You sat on a couch while thousands of people were paid modern day s***e wages, and in some cases real s***e, real modern-day s***ery, uh, depending on where you are in terms of food production,” she said. “Um, you made that money off the backs of undocumented people. You made that money off the backs of black and brown people being paid under a living wage.”
“You made that money off the backs of single mothers and all these people who are literally dying because they can’t afford to live and so no one ever makes a billion dollars, you take a billion dollars,” Ocasio-Cortez continued.
Of course, AOC claims she’s not out to demonize billionaires (She did–in fact–accept a $2,700 campaign donation from billionaire Democratic p**********l candidate Tom Steyer). She just wants to warn everyone that “life in capitalism always ends in billionaires. If you don’t do it, someone else will. It’s who decides to make that choice is just kind of up to, you know, circumstance.”
AOC demonizes business owners: they’re lazy s***e owners, employees ‘literally dying’
Ocasio-Cortez has a history of making wild and largely unsubstantiated claims during this event as she claimed last year that being a billionaire is “immoral” and suggested that the world was going to end in 12 years if her radical socialist agenda was not adopted.
“I think the part of it that is generational is that millennials and people, in Gen Z, and all these folks that come after us are looking up and we’re like, the world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address c*****e c****e,” Ocasio-Cortez said without evidence. “And your biggest issue, your biggest issue is how are going to pay for it? — and like this is the war, this is our World War II.”
Ocasio-Cortez also said that government should dictate how well people are able to live by limiting the success of those who are hard working and successful.
“Do we live in a moral world that allows for billionaires?” l*****t Ta-Nehisi Coates asked. “Is that a moral outcome in and of itself?”
“No, it’s not,” Ocasio-Cortez responded. “It’s not.”
The Daily Wire also reported at the time that Ocasio-Cortez “also suggested that the U.S. needed to pay ‘r********ns’ like Germany did ‘after the Holocaust’ if it wants to heal: ‘Until America tells the t***h about itself, we are not going to heal.'”
