| 0:00.0 | Hi everybody welcome to another edition of Full Measure After Hours. I'm Cheryl |
| 0:11.8 | Ackison. You may have heard recently about the huge pro-gun rally |
| 0:16.1 | in Richmond, the capital of Virginia, but there's a lot behind that that wasn't reported. |
| 0:21.4 | Nearly every county in the state has recently passed |
| 0:24.4 | pro second amendment legislation. Some are calling them second amendment |
| 0:28.6 | sanctuary cities. We're going to dig into what triggered this movement and why people around the country are watching it. |

| 1:45.7 | So that's what this is all about. But to have inside of two months, 91 of 95 counties, maybe a little over two months, but 91 of 95 counties vote in favor of supporting gun rights was really quite the movement and then it culminated with the huge rally that some people saw |
| 2:05.0 | on the news the pro-gun rights rally in Richmond that was also attended by |
