Law & Crime reports:
An Indiana man pleaded guilty on Friday to bringing a loaded revolver with him to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6—and assaulting police there with a baton stolen from one of them.
The case of Mark Andrew Mazza, a 57-year-old from Shelbyville, provides a sharp counterpoint to those who play down the breach of Congress by falsely claiming that nobody was armed.
Mazza has now acknowledged carrying a Taurus revolver, loaded with .410 gauge shotgun shells and .45 caliber hollow point bullets, to Washington, D.C., first to the Ellipse and then to the Capitol.
Read the full article. Mazza will be sentenced on September 30th and faces up to 20 years in federal prison.

Mark Mazza. Brought a TAURUS JUDGE to the Capitol. That’s a revolver that fires .410 shotgun shells. More or less told the feds if he’d seen Nancy Pelosi he’d have used it.
Fun fact abouth him, he dropped the gun there then tried to report it stolen. https://t.co/rivVmKDek6 pic.twitter.com/iVgTMNrqBB
