Virginia state Sen. Amanda Chase tells gun owners to be 'on alert.'

A Virginia lawmaker and gubernatorial candidate urged gun owners to be "on notice" Monday that they might need to shoot anti-fascist protesters.

In a Facebook live video flagged by Right Wing Watch, Republican state Sen. Amanda Chase told gun owners who are "proficient in using" to be "on notice" and to "be careful, not fearful."

"If Antifa tries to hijack any of these rallies that are gonna be going on in the Chesterfield area, they're gonna be in for a real surprise because there are a number of people from the [Second Amendment] community who have been activated, who are on active alert," Chase said. "It's okay to have peaceful rallies and protests, but whenever there are those that cross that line and destroy lives and properties, that's not gonna be tolerated here. And we're on alert. And if you come to our community and wreak havoc and destruction, you're gonna be sorry."

Protests have swept the nation after the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died after a white police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, knelt on his neck, the latest in the uncountable number of black Americans killed in encounters with white police officers.

3. I would tell this douchenozzle that she should instead rely on law enforcement.

But, shit! Law enforcement has proven to be just as irresponsible, crazed, and demented in the use of force as the civilian gun-nuts.

We're surrounded by the cast of The Road Warrior, with no Mad Max in sight...

6. They're seeing ghosts.

Antifa comes out when FASCISTS come out.

Otherwise, you're talking about Black Bloc, and I doubt there's much of that in VA.

8. Quote: "The more people live by Judeo-Christian values, the less government is needed"

Translation: Let's shoot more people, just like Jesus taught us

Quote: "I am a born again evangelic Christian who believes the Bible 100%. I have a personal relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Translation: My favorite Bible verse is, 'The phone call was perfect'

9. Yet you invite nasty people to invade black neighborhoods

Your fascist-white supremacist provocateurs. Even the FBI said that there was no Antifa presence at the protests.

What a piece of work she is. I certainly hope Virginians are smart enough to reject this supreme example of racist white privilege.

10. Funny, I haven't received my

Second Amendment activation order yet. Maybe it is in the mail.

I did once join an armed group. They had my swear an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States". I don't see anything in the Constitution or even the Second Amendment that says I need shoot anybody.
