You were saying there "were no guns". I am saying there were. One of these is an accurate statement.
> WOW SUCH INSURRECTION.
Firearms are not necessarily for something to be classified as an insurrection.
Firearms aren't even necessary if you want to have a revolution:

From the court filing above:
> On January 7, 2021, the FBI received information that CLEVELAND GROVER MEREDITH, JR. (hereinafter “MEREDITH”) had recently sent a text message in which he wrote, “Thinking about heading over to Pelosi CUNT’s speech and putting a bullet in her noggin on Live TV [purple devil emoji].” Additionally, Agents learned that MEREDITH was likely in the Washington, DC area, and that he allegedly had firearms and ammunition.

To me, personally, threatening to kill someone would fall under a "violent" label, and so would lean more insurrection.
There could have been other people at the event that did not have violent intentions and simply wanted to voice their grievances, and that would lean more towards protest.
