These people tried to overthrow the government and got pardoned and we seemingly allow them back into society without any second thoughts. Its disgusting

It's illegal to carry, even if properly licensed, a firearm on Capitol grounds. So searching for "Unlawful Possession of a Firearm on Capitol Grounds or Buildings" yields an approximate total number of rioters carrying firearms (as opposed to just "deadly weapons," which also includes things like batons, baseball bats, and various household objects). That total number is 6.

  What you write is true, but leaves out the Oathkeepers' setting up a literal armory just outside of DC. That's the reason for Stewart Rhodes' seditious conspiracy trial and conviction.
  I'm a little mystified as to why the weapons from that armory never got used. Trump's response to the insurrection he provoked is weird, but so is the insurrectionists behavior.
