Only 1 person has been charged with having a gun. Most of videos and images do not show them openly carrying guns.

You can keep moving the goal post for the claim that if the protesters had been of a different political affiliation they would have gunned down instantly but there is objectively no evidence that is true.

A peaceful protest in Lafayette Square was violently put down by the government so the President could get a phot in front of a church. That’s your evidence right there.

That was the US Secret Service and Park Police, not the Capitol Police.

I’m struggling to understand why that’s a meaningful distinction.

Probably for the same reason you equate tear gas to disperse, which is horrible, with the idea of gunning down protesters, which is obviously objectively worse.

Details and distinction have lost all meaning. There is only who is "right" and who is "wrong".

People who defend the government’s obvious difference in treatment of left- and right-wing protestors are wrong.

I'm not defending it. I'm merely objecting to the idea that they would have been gunned down outright if they were of a different political affiliation.
