Typical deceptive article. It says “inside the Capitol or outside” and many paragraphs later concludes that none of the guns were actually taken inside.
Also interesting that a handful of bad people carrying guns make everybody else a criminal. Is that the world you want to live in?
- effingwewt 4y agoThat is the world we live in. Every movement or protest has people who resort to violence. Whether actual protesters, or whether infiltrated by someone looking to discredit the movement. Law enforcement is famous for it, and there are quite a few vidoes of them trying to 'start shit' so they can escalate. I don't know whether guns were used at Capitol Hill, I don't really care. It was an attempted violent coup. By the protesters, not infiltrators. I think the world has lost its marbles.

- nchi3 4y agoStorming the Capitol makes you a criminal though, whether you're carrying a gun or not.
- dTal 4y agoWhat do you suppose would have happened if the angry mob equipped with zipties had actually got ahold of any of the public figures they were looking for? If Nancy Pelosi had been in her office, say? Or if they'd somehow cornered Mike Pence? Just because it was incompetent and disorganized doesn't mean it wasn't earnest, or planned. Anyway, I stand by my initial position that it is disingenuous to act so innocently amazed that people might regard an angry violent mob storming the capitol with a gallows chanting to hang the vice president as an insurrection.
