GRIFF: DAYS AFTER 10 EVER THOUSANDS OF PRO-GUN ADVOCATES
STAGE AD MASSIVE RALLY IN
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA LAWMAKERS ARE
LIMITING HANDGUN PURCHASES TO
ONE PER MONTH, BACKGROUND CHECKS
AND ALLOWING LOCALITIES TO BAN
GUNS IN PUBLIC PLACES.
IS VIRGINIA BECOMING AFTER
NATIONWIDE PUSH AGAINST
FIREARMS?
FIREARMS? OUR NEXT GUEST STOOD WITH SECOND
AMENDMENT SUPPORTERS AT RALLY.
AMANDA CHASE, STATE SENATOR,
JOINS ME NOW.
SHE WAS ONE OF THE KEYNOTE
SPEAKERS AT THE RALLY.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
YOU AND I SPOKE ON THAT MONDAY
YET APPEARS THAT THE LAWMAKERS
WEREN’T LISTENING TO THEING TO
MESSAGE.
MESSAGE. >> GOOD MORNING.
THERE IS NO SURPRISE.
THERE IS AN ALL-OUT ASSAULT ON
OUR FUNDAMENTALLY PROTECTED
RIGHT OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT
SINCE TERRY McAULIFFE
IMPLEMENTED EXECUTIVE ORDER 50
WHILE HE WAS IN OFFICE.
THAT BASICALLY STARTED THE GUN
BAN IN OUR GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS.
AND SINCE GOVERNOR TWO-FACED
NORTHAM HAS HAS CONTINUED THAT
ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL LEGACY THAT
TERRY McAULIFFE STARTED AND
NOW WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS THE
VIRGINIA SENATE AND HOUSE AND
EXECUTIVE BRANCH FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN 27 YEARS, WE’VE SEEN A
COMPLETE LIBERAL, SOCIALIST TAKE
OVER OF THE LEADERSHIP, THE
GOVERNING LEADERSHIP VIRGINIA.
I AM LEADING A GRASSROOTS
MOVEMENT.
MOVEMENT. I’M A GRASSROOTS STATE SENATOR.
I STAND WITH THE PEOPLE.
THAT IS WHY THEY PUT ME HERE.
I’M NOT A POLITICIAN.
THEY REELECTED.
THEY REELECTED. THEY KNOW I WON’T BACK DOWN.
I HAVE STOOD IN THE GAP FOR THE
PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.
I WON’T BACK DOWN.
I STOOD UP NOT ONLY FOR THE
SECOND AMENDMENT BECAUSE WHAT
HAS HAPPENED THERE IS ALL-OUT
WAR ON OUR CONSTITUTION.
THEY STARTED WITH THE SECOND
AMENDMENT, TAKING AWAY
LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS ABILITY TO
PROTECT THEMSELVES.
PROTECT THEMSELVES. MAKING THEM DEFENSELESS.
AND WE’RE TALKING ABOUT TURNING
THE SECOND AMENDMENT ON ITS
HEAD.
HEAD. LET’S TALK ABOUT --
GRIFF: LET ME JUMP IN FOR ONE
SECOND THOUGH, BECAUSE YOU HAVE
MADE THE CASE, WHEN I SPOKE WITH
YOU THERE, THAT THIS WAS NOT
JUST A VIRGINIA THING.
AND I UNDERSTAND THE POLITICS OF
THE STATE, BUT WHY IS IT THAT
YOU BELIEVE THAT IS THE TIP OF
ICEBERG ON ASSAULT OF SECOND
AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND IT HAS
NATIONWIDE IMPACT?
NATIONWIDE IMPACT? >> BECAUSE VIRGINIA, IF YOU LOOK
AT VIRGINIA, WE ARE THE LONGEST,
THE LONGEST CONTINUOUS
LEGISLATIVE BODY IN THE NEW
WORLD.
WORLD. WE HAVE OVER EIGHT PRESIDENTS
WHO ARE BEGINNIANS.
EVERYTHING STARTS IN VIRGINIA.
THAT IS WHY THEY STARTED WITH
VIRGINIAN.
VIRGINIAN. WHATEVER HAPPENS IN VIRGINIA
COULD VERY WELL HAPPEN IN THE
REST OF THE COUNTRY.
THAT IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT THAT
WE DON’T BACK DOWN.
THE GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT HERE IN
VIRGINIA WE WON’T.
I CALLED FOR THE GOVERNOR TO
RESIGN AS OF MIDNIGHT, JANUARY
THE 20th.
THE 20th. GRIFF: MOVEMENT TO RECALL HIM.
WE’RE JUST ABOUT OUT OF TIME.
YOU SAY AS VIRGINIA GOES, GOES
THE NATION.
THE NATION. DO YOU YOU WILL SEE THESE
MEASURES BEING PASSED AND SIGNED
BY GOVERNOR NORTHAM?
>> YES, ABSOLUTELY HE WILL.
I PUT OUT A MESSAGE OUT THERE TO
PEOPLE TO ASK THE PATRONS OF
THESE SOCIALIST BILLS THAT ARE
DISARMING LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS
TO STRIKE THE BILL.
SO ON MY SENATOR AMANDA CHASE
