It IS possible to know how many weapons were seized moron. Please link to that number. The only person being spoon fed info is you--straight out of proven liars, Piglosi, Schiff, Schumer, and Nadler's mouths. If this was such a slam dunk "armed insurrection" why, pray tell, has there been absolutely NO ONE charged or convicted of insurrection? Run along.You should first pull your head out of your ass and learn to gather REAL facts instead of just regurgitating fake news propaganda that keeps bouncing around in your cult's echo chamber, trying to pretend for others that you "kinda know something."
It was an armed insurrection.
Facts First: While it's impossible to know precisely how many firearms were brought to the Capitol on January 6, it's already clear that at least some of the people present were carrying guns that day. And as the police officers who testified at the committee on Tuesday made clear, rioters also used numerous other objects as weapons such as knives and bats.
Weapons used
US Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell told Kinzinger that "(c)ommon things were used as weapons, like a baseball bat, a hockey stick, a rebar, a flagpole -- including the American flag -- pepper spray, bear spray."
The rioters "had all these items," Gonell said, "used to attack us. Those are weapons."

Fact checking claims January 6 was not an armed insurrection
The question of whether rioters were armed on January 6 has been among the most debated issues surrounding the insurrection -- with some Republicans claiming the assailants were not armed, despite court documents alleging otherwise.www.cnn.com
