A Virginia circuit court judge has denied gun rights activists’ attempt to block a ruling on a temporary gun ban at the state capitol.

The Virginia Citizens Defense League and Gun Owners of America filed a suit against Gov. Ralph Northam and Capitol Police Chief Anthony Pike, reported the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Pike’s agency would enforce the ban.
