Alternative framing: “Normally armed Oath Keepers follow DC laws and leave guns in hotel during protest.”
So the "armed insurrection" wasn't armed, is what they're finally admitting?
In other words - they had no intention of being aggressors, but were prepared to defend themselves.
Imagine fighting a speeding ticket in court and the prosecutor says - "Your honor? The defendant has a conceal carry permit."
Completely irrelevant.
Yes, because when I need to quickly get my firearm for protection in one place (DC) I keep it in a hotel room in an entirely different state (Virginia) for easy access. Sounds right.
Lol. Prove it.

More of the look over here, not there. No riots going on now.
