"insurrectionists" is entirely accurate
18 U.S. Code ยง 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection "Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."
they sought to disrupt and end the lawful process of confirming the vote count of the general election which is a major component in the peaceful transfer of power and authority of the federal gov't and will of the people ... the very definition of rebellion
and yes, many were armed ... you don't need guns to be armed
I suppose pitchforks would be easier to ID and relate to but a spear is a spear and a club is a club ... lots of 'bear spray' too, with nary a bear in sight ... there were lots of guns intercepted that day as well
m'kay? good!
