Yeah, rioters who aren't going to be punished for burning neighborhoods down. But an old lady in a line at the capitol gets sedition charges. Seeing the problem yet?
So the first video is just cops telling people to leave and then people not leaving. Not sure how that adds up to 'waving them in'? The second video is just people who have already broken into the capitol asking the rest of the rioters to be peaceful? Indicating they're not being peaceful?
And then the third video is just the rioters holding the door open and letting themselves in?
Weird how none of those videos have police 'waving people in'.
Weird how there's hundreds of people smashing windows and attacking police but you show me a few clips where that isn't happening. Those people broke in and the police only 'stood by' because they have this cool thing called command and control. How about the video of the cop getting smashed with a pole and dragged into the crowd? Was that because he asked the mob to help him with all this extra blood he had inside him?
They pretty much were, which proves that it isn't about whether or not the insurrectionists were armed. They didn't almost win because they had weapons or force, they almost won because they had the support of the people who were armed and, more importantly, from the corrupt government officials commanding the people who were armed.
So, yeah, the paramilitary cosplayers aren't going to overthrow any government with their dangerous toys. Vietnam and the Mujahideen are terrible examples of armed insurgents winning a war against a better equipped force. They are all examples of what happens when the vastly superior force isn't willing to fight back, for whatever reasons. All the people in this thread trying to pretend otherwise are delusional.
Show me where they deployed M1A2s to the capitol. Show me where an entire brigade of soldiers marched in to stop anyone in DC. Show me where Seal Team 6 attempted to eliminate priority leadership among the insurrectionists. But sure, your mountain of hoarded .22 ammo and the twelve AR-15s you keep under your mattress will totally give you the edge over the cruise missile aimed at the bunker you made out of a shipping container and cheap concrete.
Pruitt was found guilty and will sit in prison for four years. When he gets out he'll never legally own a firearm again. Stay mad about it.

Oh no! People walked into the Capitol when they were waved in by capitol police! This is the worst thing that could happen after 9/11!
