About 22,000 pro-gun activists protested gun control legislation at the Virginia State Capitol on Jan. 20, 2020. The event triggered a state of emergency in Virginia after it gained the attention of extremist right-wing figures who threatened violence.
The “Lobby Day” event ended without a violent incident, but managed to attract a collage of right-wing figures and organizations that included anti-government militias, conspiracy theorists, and hate groups–all of which mingled unopposed in large crowds of Trump-supporting, gun rights demonstrators.
