Edit: Though the point still stands, thankfully a false alarm in this case. It was a precautionary measure due to a nearby fire. [Post edited 18 Jan 2021 16:20]

Turns out to be a false alarm in this case - there was a fire nearby so they locked down the Capitol as a precaution. |  |

That is yet to be released, there are a few police under investigation and stories of Trump not wanting to act against the "MAGA" army. I think it is being held back until after Biden is inaugurated. |  | |  |

He was stopped at a road block and they found not just a gun but 500 rounds of ammunition in his car. |  |

I noticed yesterday that all ammo has been removed from my local Walmart store. Cabinets are normally full. [Post edited 18 Jan 2021 16:50]

They laid explosives in the 6th Jan invasion. Imagine if a group of Muslims did that... |  |

Agreed, it's a ridiculous double-standard in the way things are handled. Not sure we should refer to it as an "invasion" though. They would love that and probably best to deny them anything they feel makes them relevant. Let's just hope the next few days go ahead without issue. SB |  |

Well the only reason I noticed they were out of ammo was because that's why I was there.. to stock up, so I guess they'd sold out! |  | |  |
