I would rephrase that to many, far more just wielding flags, beating officers with doors etc…, but yes there were a lot of armed protestors on january 6th… and the only person that got shot was one who breached so far past where she was supposed to go that there was no rational way to prevent congress and pence etc… from getting attacked.
Also charlottesville, covid 19 armed protests (https://everytownresearch.org/report/covid-armed-protests/), etc… bottom line there’s been a hell of a lot of right wing armed protests… and one thing they all have in common… people blatently brandishing guns didn’t get shot by cops.
