The FBI has already arrested six Neo-Nazis. The pro-gun group organizing  the event\u00c2&nbsp;has now raised more than $55,000 to bus extremists to Virginia and stop lifesaving gun safety bills.<\/p><p> <strong>This is a trend across the country. Our democratic process is under threat and we need to stand up to these extremists.<\/strong> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The pro-gun group is the Virginia Citizens Defense League which has been holding Lobby Days since 2002.

Brady United is saying that those of us standing up for our God-given, Constitutionally-guaranteed rights are inferior and alien. When you characterize any group as an &#8220;other&#8221;, then you are saying it doesn&#8217;t matter if they ostracized, belittled, or even killed.
