I reviewed the charges filed against the more than 200 people arrested for criminal misconduct related to January 6 and found only 14 defendants face any sort of weapons charge. Offenses vary; indictments range from possession of a “deadly” weapon on “restricted” grounds to assaulting a police officer.
But so far, just two people have been charged with unlawful possession of a firearm—and there’s no proof either man “breached” the Capitol let alone threatened lawmakers as part of a coordinated, armed insurrection.

It was foolish of me—and I should know better, but I accepted the armed insurrection narrative at face value. Come to find out, there was no one *inside the Capitol* with a fire arm, besides the Capitol cops.
Some insurrection.
In fact, it suggests that these idiots were surprised they got inside as easily as they did. It raises the question of whether they even expected to get inside. Did they really expect to pull an insurrection with crude hand weapons and fire extinguishers? It’s a joke.
The buried lede in this whole affair is how/why it was allowed to happen in the first place. But the ‘dangerous white supremacist’ angle was just too tantalizing for the democrats and the democrat media. Well, it’s the state run media now that Biden is installed.
They are using it to marginalize Trump supporters and the nationalist populist movement.
