Well, from what I understand (and maybe I've misheard) their argument is that trying to prevent (which failed) or even delay (which succeeded) the counting of the electoral votes through violence amounts to insurrection. So they wouldn't need to hold off the army or force Congress to draft an anti-constitution at gunpoint or even (in the case of the crowd) have planned anything in advance.What it wasn’t was an insurrection - the idea is utterly absurd. Right wingers, known for gun ownership, trying to overthrow the government with no guns? To believe this, you would have to be entirely detached from reality.
