Any time someone suggests that the Republican Party and/or the NRA actually cares about my Second Amendment rights, this is the first thing with which I immediately respond.

Probably need Milford Act for at US Capitol.

Even if only guns were seen then (at the Sacramento Capitol).

So, an armed insurrection? By blacks. Which we are told would be shot on sight [1,2,3,4,..], and the only reason the insurrectionists at the US Capitol weren't is because they were white. But the Sacramento Bee wrote of the incident:

After the state police questioned the men, they returned the weapons to them because the intruders had broken no law. - https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/history/article148667224.h...

I'm sure that as soon as we inform the people making the claims of shot on sight that they are empirically wrong, they will immediately stop, having seen their error. After all, they do so hate misinformation, especially divisive misinfromation, and would not want to spread it themselves.
