10,000s Attend Pro-Gun Rally in Virginia
----------------------------------------

Back in the United States, tens of thousands of so-called gun rights
supporters took to the streets of Richmond, Virginia, Monday to protest
new gun control proposals by the state's freshly elected Democratic
government. Protesters included members of far-right groups, and many
openly carried guns, including assault rifles, as they gathered around
the state Capitol. Democratic Governor Ralph Northam called a state of
emergency ahead of the rally, but no major incidents were reported.
