Wait. This is a very key question from @kelly2277 and @PaulBowes17: Congressional rep Madison Cawthorn said he was armed during the Jan. 6 terror attack. Other reps stated they would be carrying firearms.
*Did any of them offer to defend their colleagues during the attack?*
*Did any of them offer to defend their colleagues during the attack?*

Did the Sedition Caucus...only arm themselves so they could survive the terrorist attack while their colleagues died at the hands of a violent mob?
Because apparently they didn't intend to be "a good guy with a gun."

House Republicans wrote the leadership *five days before the attack* asking for the right to carry firearms onto the floor of Congress.
One of their examples in support? A 1954 attack *by Puerto Ricans*.
