was 1/6 an insurrection and are we in the throes of a civil war?

one is classified as terrorists; the other is classified as seditionists. They both get long jail times.

Would argue both are terrorists, one domestic and the other foreign. The domestic terrorists committed sedition.

We aren’t having a civil war because they are just going to commit terrorist acts rather than a tradition civil war.

+1 Literally people convicted of seditious conspiracy with terrorism enhancements attached to their sentences. We lack a law specifically targeting domestic terrorism, but that’s what it is.

No, it was way more serious than that. Sure some of the people there were just standard meal team six afficianados but others went much further. They were specifically trying to stop the electoral count and overthrow the election. It was straight up an attempted coup.

So we had an insurrection/revolution where a bunch of gun owners left their firearms at home? Is that how you’re seeing this?

You’re evading the issue. Is your position that we had an insurrection/revolution where a bunch of GUN OWNERS left their FIREARMS at home?

The NPR article details pepper spray, stun guns and baseball bats which is very consistent with some of the left riots we’ve seen, particularly in the Pacific Northwest.

Yes and yes. This time, civil war will be fought between neighbors, like Yugoslavia. Too many crazy Muricans with guns.

No guns in the Capitol. And no details on who the people were brandishing outside the capitol

“Plenty”? Five firearms documented in the article, none at the Capitol, out of 28,000 people there that day. My guess is the guys and gals who were armed with firearms knew to stay out of the cap building because most responsible gun owners are exceedingly careful about where they take their firearms.

This has to be the first revolution in history where a bunch of gun owners left their guns at home.

You're right. This could be the first revolution in modern history where guns where left at home. It is what it is. Any other thoughts back on topic?

They didn’t leave them at home. They left them in their hotels for quick retrieval if needed.

Most reasonable people in a nonpartisan context would say if the gun owners leave their firearms at home, it wasn’t an insurrection/revolution. It was a riot.

Be careful about the standards you set. E.g., protestors storming the senate during the confirmation hearings of a SCOTUS nominee.

Many had guns and you are ignoring the cache of firearms that were to be brought by boat across the Potomac River.

Still not close to the same as trying to stop the electoral count and overthrow the election.
