Original Note:
False. Court records and news reports show that many insurrectionists were armed, and several were charged with having firearms on Capitol grounds or stashed nearby while in Washington, D.C. In addition, rioters had weapons other than firearms and used them during the attack. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/politifact/article/Fact-check-Donald-Trump-says-Capitol-rioters-16314194.php
