Ron Johnson in January 6 Capitol Riot

On Gun Control: Jan. 6 didn't seem like an armed insurrection to me

[On Jan. 6]: "This didn't seem like an armed insurrection to me," the Oshkosh Republican said in an interview on WISN-AM, after condemning the events at the U.S. Capitol that day.

"I mean 'armed,' when you hear 'armed,' don't you think of firearms? Here's the questions I would have liked to ask. How many firearms were confiscated? How many shots were fired? I'm only aware of one and I'll defend that law enforcement officer for taking that shot. It was a tragedy, OK? But I think there was only one."
