Also, on Sunday, Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser released a
statement about the upcoming First Amendment demonstrations,
permitted by the National Park Service, scheduled for Jan. 5 and
Jan. 6.
“Members of the public and anyone attending the events are
reminded that District law prohibits anyone from carrying a firearm
within 1,000 feet of any First Amendment activity. Under federal
law, it is illegal to possess firearms on the U.S. Capitol grounds
and on National Park Service areas, such as Freedom Plaza, the
Ellipse, and the National Mall.“Additionally, members of the public are reminded that the
District of Columbia does not have reciprocity with other states’
concealed pistol licenses; unless a person has been issued a
concealed pistol license by the District of Columbia, they cannot
conceal carry a firearm in the city. Finally, it is illegal to open
carry firearms in the District,†the release stated.
Pro-Trump supporters attending the rally are demanding Congress
overturn the election results on Jan. 6, which is when lawmakers
certify electoral college votes, confirming President-elect Joe
Biden’s win.
A handful of Republican senators led by Sen. Ted Cruz are now
planning to reject the Electoral College’s certification
tomorrow unless there is an emergency audit.
On Saturday, President Trump tweeted a promotional video, hyping
up his base to attend the “biggest event in Washington D.C.
history.â€

Ahead of the protests, the chairman of the Proud Boys – a
Latin man by the name of Enrique Tarrio – was arrested by
Metropolitan Police last week on suspicion of
burning a Black Lives Matter banner torn from a historic Black
church in Washington during protests last month that led to several
violent clashes, including stabbings, around the city.
On Parler, Tarrio posted a message that read: “ProudBoys will
turn out in record numbers on Jan. 6 but this time with a
twist.â€
Bowser has also activated the
National Guard ahead of the demonstration as the threat of
violence with opposition protesters could materialize.
