ok thanks, I did, here: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GPO-J6-REPORT/html-submi...

it mentions exactly 7 people that carried guns:

Garret Miller

Christopher Kuehne

Guy Reffitt

Jerod Thomas Bargar

Mark Andre Mazza

Lonnie Leroy Coffman

Joe Biggs

also, Alex Kirk Harkrider brought a tomahawk axe

not much of an insurrection, we could say a mostly peaceful one




Garret Miller did not have a gun Jan 6. I have contacted Loudermilk to get this corrected.If you look up his case you can see he was not charged with having a weapon. He was searched by an officer when briefly detained on steps leading to entrance on east side. Very easily to prove wrong. The J6 committee report has many inaccurate statements


Knives are weapons, too, as are other things.


You have the answer to your question.

I find it odd that you’re ok with peaceful insurrections. It’s not ok for a small mob to attempt to overthrow the government, whether they go about it violently or not. (Ironically, the fictional election fraud that was being protested would itself be a peaceful insurrection, so one wonders what supporters of peaceful insurrections would have found to complain about in Biden’s victory!)

You can read the rest of the report if you are still inclined to view this disgraceful episode in US history as a ‘mostly peaceful’ one.
