Original Note:
The previous CN claims that no weapons were brought to the Capitol on Jan 6. Oxford Dictionary defines a weapon as anything that can cause bodily injury. The flag poles, stolen police batons, & bear spray are weapons. Several people were charge with firearm possessions. https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/capitol-breach-cases?combine=Firearm https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/indiana-man-pleads-guilty-carrying-gun-and-assaulting-law-enforcement-officers-jan-6
