Good morning. Here in Richmond for @townhallcom to cover the gun rights rally outside the statehouse. Lots of people are choosing to stay outside of the security zone. 
In addition to quite a few people being armed with rifles in Richmond, there's also quite a few Gov. Northam yearbook pictures on signs.
Wow, look at all these "white nationalists." cc: @oneunderscore__
Richmond gun rights rally chants "USA!" and "Hey hey, ho ho, racist Ralph has got to go!
More signs in Richmond: "No Republican ever called me an incel" and "Armed minorities are harder to oppress."
The streets around Virginia's state capitol are packed for the Second Amendment rally.
An African-American man waving a Trump flag jokingly tells the crowd: I am Gov. Ralph Northam and I am in blackface today.
#VirginaRally
#VirginaRally
A group of women showing support for gun rights. #VirginiaRally
Another anti-Gov. Ralph Northam sign at the #VirginiaRally.
One woman's sign directly addresses the people accusing the #VirginiaRally of being a "white nationalist" or racist gathering.
More pictures of people carrying rifles at the #VirginiaRally and more evidence that debunks the narrative that the rally is filled with racists and white supremacists.
With the #VirginiaRally coming to a close, I can definitively say that I had zero concern for my safety once I got there. Had zero problems with the protesters and they were quite nice. Can't say the same when I covered protests in Portland.
