This statement is, of course, false. They did bring weapons.

>But I don't blame you for believing the protesters carried weapons into the capitol. it's because of the intentional framing of the media and the government.
They literally did carry weapons into the capital. There are many instances of this. People have been tried and convicted on those charges. You can literally see weapons present on them in pictures:

None of the links say they brought a loaded gun into the capitol.
It's America. Guns are cheap and easy to obtain. Thousands of protesters could have easily marched into the capitol armed-- but they didn't. Why?

If you watched the video where Babbit got shot, there was literally a man in the corner of the hallway with a rifle and camo
There's not a single indictment of any protester for possession of a rifle inside the capitol.
This is America. Guns are cheap and easy to obtain. They could have all marched into the open doors of the capitol armed but they didn't. Why do you think that is?
