Virginia Citizens Defense League Statement on Lobby Day 2021, January 18th 2021 Ammoland Inc. Posted on
Virginia – -(AmmoLand.com)- Some have wondered if Lobby Day would be canceled or changed due to the events at the U.S. Capitol back on January 6, 2021. The answer is no.
Lobby Day is on track for this Monday, January 18. Lobby Day in 2021 is like all our other previous Lobby Days – we are peacefully lobbying to protect our rights, we are not protesting anything. There are times and places for protests, but Lobby Day is not one of them.
We cannot cancel our events every time the rumor mill starts talking about possible problems caused by provocateurs. If we did, we would have no more events and no voice in the fight to protect the right to keep and bear arms. Gun grabbers would make sure there would always be some “threat” to shut down our events.
