You never had to look very far on AR15.com's General Discussion board to find people posting what they'd like to do to Pelosi/Schumer/AOC, or more recently, saying that if the election result isn't overturned legally "it's up to us to do something about it". I distinctly remember after SCOTUS refused to hear the Texas v. PA case, posters saying they wouldn't mind if some justices were assassinated.
The site's code of conduct prohibited making threats, but very thinly veiled ones went mostly unmoderated. Including the practice of simply using CoC (code of conduct) as a euphemism, such as "Somebody needs to CoC that bitch (angry red grrrrr emote)".
The site cracked down MUCH harder on that stuff right after Twitter banned Trump and Parler went down. They moved politics to a separate, paid-members-only board and closed most of the political threads in GD. But apparently it wasn't enough and GoDaddy doesn't want to be associated with it.
I don't believe AR15.com ever made any official posts that advocated for violence in any way. It was all user content.
