'We will raise hell': MAGA activists 'swearing vengeance on J.D. Vance' for new 'betrayal'
Donald Trump's number two has found himself to be the number one target of several faithful members of the MAGA movement, including Jan. 6 rioters.
Vance told Fox News on Sunday that not all Jan. 6 defendants deserved pardons, specifically saying those who engaged in violence could potentially be excluded.
“If you protested peacefully on Jan. 6 and you’ve had [Attorney General] Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned,” the vice president-elect said. "If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn’t be pardoned.”

Perhaps it will be called Night of the Long Carabines?

Yes, but in my mind, it was long rifles. Small distinction.
I went with first word that I remembered. I don't know shit about guns, in fact I can't even recall seeing one IRL.

I'm pretty sure that I know where you get your news from, but remember this, there wasn't a single gun confiscated on Jan. 6th, and the only shot fired was by a Capitol Hill police officer who shot an unarmed Air Force veteran in her head and killed her.
I wonder why he was never disciplined or ever held accountable for what he did?

Stewart Rhodes is serving out a prison sentence in large part because of what fellow oathkeepers testified to as the largest cache of weapons they'd ever seen in their lives. This was a fact that his defense did not contest. Are you misinformed, or are you a committed disseminator of separatist propaganda?
Domestic terrorists trained for the occasion, brought weapons for the mission..and then simply failed because they were incompetent. Ashley Babbit died for that cause. You wanna know who never saw any discipline or accountability for her death? Dear Leader, who sent her to it. Not that he would particularly object to the circumstances, right? He's always telling leos they outta be a little rougher.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

If you're referring to Ashli Babbit, she was not shot in the head. And while no guns may have been confiscated, they certainly were present among the rioters.

Maybe because when you're tasked with protecting members of congress from an angry mob, use of deadly force is definitely authorized.

(Bold mine)
And that matters why, exactly?
And, for the record, Babbitt was armed and ignored repeated warnings to get back.
Also for the record, you’re an idiot.
