      Here in Arlington, Va. for a @MikeBloomberg campaign event with gun control activists and DC mayor @MurielBowser, hundreds of gun rights activists are here in protest, blocking attendees from getting in.pic.twitter.com/l5MgFhwcjx

      Bloomberg has a unique standing in Virginia, spent millions in the fall through Everytown to help flip the state blue and guns rights activists *really* hate him.

      Probably about 150 or so turned up for this Bloomberg event, but there’s hundreds outside trying to drown out the speakers, including victims and families of victims of gun violence.pic.twitter.com/n1jTY2u57J

      DC mayor @MurielBowser, one of many big city mayors that have endorsed Bloomberg, gets up to the mic to a loud applause as she says, “When I got off the bus I thought I was in the wrong place because I thought Virginia is for lovers,” taunting the protesters outside.pic.twitter.com/OXMeVeDp2E

          Talked to a protester outside about why Bloomberg is such a polarizing figure for Republicans in Virginia, said it was because of his “socialist values.” Had to break the news to him that there’s an actual socialist running. “They’re all socialists,” he said.

          Yeah turns out people get angry when you try to take their rights away. The gun rights protestors are not the bad guy here.
