If the Proud Boys had all these guns and their intent was to violently overthrow the government, why’d they leave it all at the hotel?

Bone up, kiddo. The orange rapist's convicted cultists are 'Oathkeepers,' as stupid, cowardly and inept as the orange rapist himself.

Why? C'mon man, this ain't rocket science.

"..... Defendant Bennie Parker had waited outside the Capitol, where he explained to a foreign journalist that the riot was the result of American anger over the “stolen” election and ominously warned that “it will come to a civil war” and that many Americans were “willing to take up arms.” Bennie and Sandra Parker were among those Americans, having brought their firearms from Ohio for the events of January 6 at the direction of Ohio Oath Keepers leader Jessica Watkins

Connie Meggs and her husband, Kelly Meggs, traveled from Florida to a hotel in Arlington, Virginia, with several weapons that were later deposited at the hotel.

On January 6th, Oath Keepers leader Elmer Stewart Rhodes III, who was convicted in an earlier trial of seditious conspiracy and related charges, sent a message on an encrypted group chat announcing that Vice President Michael R. Pence would not intercede to stop Congress' certification of the electoral college vote, and so "patriots" were taking matters into their own hands. Moments later, a group of Oath Keepers, including these five defendants, began their march toward the Capitol."
