VCDL is pulling no punches, and is going over the top.. To be fair the governor did say he was going to ban and confiscate all their guns, so I'd be pretty motivated as well.
VCDL founder Paul Moog, a Navy veteran and outspoken opponent of the governor’s proposed firearms legislation, paid for the signs and arranged for their posting. At least one local person complained to Culpeper police about the image on the sign. And another, Culpeper resident Joan McBride, contacted the Star-Exponent to express her disbelief.
“In this day and age, that is despicable to use any kind of intimidation or reference to previous intimidation against a segment of our population,” McBride said in a phone inteview earlier this week. “The implicit message, which made my blood run cold, is that guns and intimidation and certain populations go together. It was terrible.”
McBride was not aware at first that the photo was from Northam’s yearbook. Either way, she said, it has no place in Culpeper, which McBride described as a “loving, multi-racial, multi-ethnic little town.”
Moog, of Orange, said in a phone conversation that the signs were deliberately placed in the ethnic neighborhood.
“That was deliberate,” he said. “I’ve been trying to alert the African-American community to this racist gun control the governor is pushing. The black people are woke—they know what this is all about.”
Moog added of the signs, “I’m sure only Democrats are complaining because they’re embarrassed by their governor who is basically an unrepentant buffoon.”
"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. . . Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them."

They were removed because the city has a prohibition against temporary signs on utility poles.
