Escalating violence as armed protests planned in all 50 state capitals

[Rev. Rye]

The closest thing I can think of is the assassination of Huey Long in 1935, but while I concede that the vast majority of protests with guns end with nary a shot being fired, the context behind these new protests is very different. Namely, that they were hoping to actively overthrow the government. This is not something you want to take chances on, even if the one person to get shot in the Capitol riot was a rioter shot by police.
