A Richmond Circuit Court judge upheld Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's executive order temporarily banning guns on Capitol Grounds to prevent violent uprisings at a gun rally scheduled for Monday, despite pushback from pro-gun groups. The court disagreed, and Taylor wrote in a three-page opinion filed Thursday that "the Capitol Grounds ban [on weapons] does not impinge upon a right protected by the Second Amendment." Northam defended the ban after the ruling saying: “I took this action to protect Virginians from credible threats of violence. The gun groups filed an appeal to the judge's decision late Thursday.
