January 6 Rioters Think Donald Trump's Victory Is Their Get Out of Jail Free Card
Briefly

Brandon Fellows, a January 6 rioter, expressed his belief that former President Trump's potential 2024 victory could lead to pardons for January 6 participants, emphasizing his desire to own firearms despite legal prohibitions.
Fellows candidly stated, 'I just wanna piss people off and get some guns,' demonstrating a defiance towards restrictions and an eagerness to provoke reactions from society.
The Proud Boys highlighted the ongoing suffering of their imprisoned members, stressing that any political victories are hollow without the freedom of those still incarcerated from the January 6 events.
Fellows's motivations were explicitly stated: 'I want to get a couple: a rifle, a pistol,' indicating a clear desire for firearms linked to a future of perceived political vindication.
