It’s bad faith to compare a nonviolent protest by 300 people to an insurrection by thousands. No lawmakers were in fear of their life in the Kavaugh protest and the floor of the Senate and the House remained protected. Also the goal was not to overturn the Presidential election. That these two events are incomparable is obvious.
Regardless of whatever happened in the past the fact remains that the government was almost overthrown on January 6 and the instigators (the top leaders) have not been brought to justice.

I'm sure there are other examples, that one came up on Google first. Given the size, demographics and temperament of the crowd, you'd really believe none of them were packing heat?
