When 'Armed' Insurrection Isn't Insurrection

 For weeks, since the 6th of January event....there's been this continual chatter of 'armed rebellion' or 'armed insurrection'.  

I've spent a fair amount of time pondering over this, and come to this observation.  If this was rebellion or insurrection on the 6th....the only gunshot fired....was by a Capital Policeman, and that killed an unarmed civilian.  Beyond that....it's a 1-star rebellion/insurrection.  Anybody from Iraq, Syria, or El Salvador would tell you that.

Can you even have a rebellion or insurrection without guns?  I have my doubts.

The most that you can say is that most of the 6th crowd had flags (on sticks), and seemed to be hyped-up.  But it's the same enthusiasm that you'd see at a NCAA football game.

Just something to think about.
