"An Indiana man charged with carrying a loaded firearm to the Capitol on Jan. 6 told investigators that if he had found Speaker Nancy Pelosi, “you’d be here for another reason,” according to court documents posted over the weekend. Mark Mazza, 56, is the latest of about half a dozen Jan. 6 defendants charged with bringing a gun to the Capitol. A Capitol Police sergeant obtained the weapon after allegedly fending off an assault from Mazza. Mazza also told investigators “I thought Nan and I would hit it off,” and "I told my kids that if they show up, I’m surrendering, nope they can have me, because I may go down a hero.”
Though reports of rioters charged with carrying firearms have been limited, the number has been steadily climbing. The mounting evidence has undercut claims by former President Donald Trump and his allies that the mob attacking the Capitol was unarmed."
I mean, even tho he didn't get a chance to murder Pelosi, the fact that he wanted to..and even brought a gun with him to the Capitol to do it..that is worthy of hero-status all on its own....And on the bright side, Mazza did try to intervene when a couple of officers were dragged into a crowd of rioters..But let's be honest, he wasn't really gonna kill Pelosi...he was just being sarcastic..and brought a gun just as an artistic prop.
However, to be fair... it's really uncommon to be having a gun with you while you tussle with a cop..let alone a cop in the Capitol building that is under siege....and even more uncommon for that cop to take your gun...and you aren't shot...and it's even more uncommon to make a false police report claiming your gun was stolen a day earlier -- because of how confident you are that you will suffer no consequences by these same "government institutions" that you felt were so rigged against you; that you would storm the capitol with a shotgun revolver...
