OPEN CARRY transforms into OPEN TYRANNY in Virginia as judge rules Second Amendment null and void in state capitol

The Democratic defiance of the Constitution and the will of a majority of Virginia jurisdictions continues to spiral out of control, as newly empowered tyrants in the Donkey Party continue pushing restrictive new anti-gun measures.
On Thursday, Gov. Ralph “Blackface” Northam (D) issued an emergency edict barring Virginians from carrying firearms on the grounds of the state capitol during the annual gun rights lobbying event coming up on Monday.
In his declaration, Northam claimed that his edict only sought to enhance public safety after officials said they’d received “credible and serious threats” (who’s really going to know whether or not that’s true?). And yet, in all the years gun owners have descended on the capital for their annual event, not a single incident involving a firearm has occurred.
What’s more, Virginia state law recognizes the Constitution’s “shall not be infringed” clause in allowing open carry of firearms without first having to obtain government permission by getting a license.
So clearly, Northam’s edict is not only a violation of state law, but it is a direct violation of the Second Amendment (which does not contain a provision allowing for ‘some’ gun control but only if it’s done for the purposes of ‘public safety’).
Several gun rights groups immediately filed a lawsuit, CBS News reported:
A lawsuit challenging Northam’s decision was filed by Gun Owners of America, Inc. (GOA), Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL), and citizens Kenneth VanWyk, Erich Pratt, and John Velleco, who are all planning to attend Monday’s rally, according to CBS Richmond affiliate WTVR. Of the three individuals filing the lawsuit, two are executive members of the GOA, and the third is a member of the VCDL.
But a state judge quickly upheld the governor’s edict because state power must be preserved at all times instead of the people’s rights.
Why are some laws valid and others…aren’t?
