During an on-air conversation with Trump on July 11, "Sunday Morning Futures" host Maria Bartiromo twice broached the topic of whether guns were present during the attack at the Capitol.
"They called it an armed insurrection, and yet no guns were seized," Bartiromo said before describing it as being among the "misinformation" spread about Trumps presidency.
Later, she repeated the assertion: "They continue to call this an armed insurrection," Bartiromo said. "And yet no guns were seized, Mr. President."
"Right," Trump answered. "There were no guns whatsoever."

The Mags caught quite a few people with weapons. They had to surrender them to get into the secure area. Most would not surrender their weapons so couldn't get into that area.
