Win McNamee via Getty Images Gun rights advocates carrying military-style rifles attend a rally organized by the Virginia Citizens Defense League near the state Capitol building in Richmond, Virginia, on Monday. Protesters of various gun control proposals in Virginia, some of whom were armed, gathered around the square as early as 5 a.m. Monday. But that didn’t stop other armed people from lining up in formation outside, and roaming downtown Richmond with guns on full display. “We’re not here for a fight, but we’re ready if need be.”I’m in Richmond for today’s gun rally. What is so striking about the scene at the gun rights rally in Richmond is what you don’t see: almost no cops.
