The first insurrectionist stupid enough to take his case to formal trial was found guilty on all counts by a jury.

Good. People who bring guns to town in violation of District and Federal laws are already eligible for jail. Add on a few more counts and he should get more time.

The decision to certify the election fell to the people charged to decide. No group should have been allowed to get close enough to disrupt it, which was an intelligence or operational failure and needs to be fixed, and anyone that got to the restricted areas should be prosecuted.

Consistency.

They were talking about their muscle composition, so it was an accurate statement.

It's that old saying, people who are obsessed about exercising their 2nd Amendment publicly, don't seem to exercise much else.
