I've been monitoring the murmurs across cyber-space regarding this development, and have to say they made a correct decision, but half-assed it. Guns (not weapons, just guns) have been banned in two buildings, but not on the grounds. They should have been banned on the grounds as well. Furthermore, any law enforcement in attendance are subject to the same ban EXCEPT FOR the Capitol Police, and the Capitol Police only.
Guns should have been banned on the grounds, and ALL law Enforcement present should have been exempted, so it's a half-assed measure.
There are a lot of dissatisfied folks out here, and they have stopped thinking either strategically or tactically - they are just calling for blood, and I fear that it is blood they will have, and kick off a war they likely can't win, because they have stopped thinking at all. They are playing directly into the Socialists hands, and think they're fucking heroes or something - I think they are being dumbasses.
Even a fairly smart dog knows when to wag and when to bite, and they aren't that smart - they're all bite and no wag.
It's getting tense, and no good will come of it. The Socialists are still thinking both strategically and tactically, so they are more likely to win at this point against an unthinking horde.
I posted to them last night that I am not a pussy, and have no fear. If I am there, I will be unarmed, will be wearing ballistic armor (against my own side, no less!) and will keep my eyes peeled for the nearest exit at all times. I've carried a gun for a living for most of my life, and know for sure that I have no need of one at the Capitol - who needs a gun to talk to a politician? Who needs a gun against Antifa? You just bend those little bitches up into a pretzel shape and move on, job done. I don't need to shoot them to hurt them, and none of the men there do, either - IF there is any "man" in them.
All it will take is one firecracker from Antifa to spark it off, and since the "patriots" and the Capitol Police will be the only armed people there, they will be getting into a firefight... with their goddamned selves! Now how is THAT going to play on national TV? Who doesn't think that the Socialists have already thought about that? Who thinks they don't already have plans in the works to light that spark for the win?
I've started looking for exits from the state, because from the chatter I've heard, about half or so of this mob of "patriots" don't have the smarts to win a war - they only have the smarts to be cannon fodder at the beck and call of the Socialists, to be led around by the nose by them.
That, I believe, is WHY no one is being disarmed on the grounds, and WHY LE other than the Capitol Police are also being disarmed. Turns out it wasn't a "half assed" measure as it appears...
... it all seems to me to be part and parcel of a Machiavellian plan by the Socialists. They seem to INTEND to spark it off, and remain safe within two buildings until the Calvalry arrives to clear the mob and save their asses.
We don't have enough second-level thinkers on our side in VA to win. We only have enough cannon fodder to make it a bloody, and losing, contest. VERY bloody, and VERY losing.
Dumbasses!
ETA: Update - I've just been informed that they have banned guns on the grounds as well, as of this morning. It's the wise move, but sure to ramp emotions up among the susceptible even further. Here may be found 4 further scenarios mapped out by a former SEAL indicating that it may still be a trap.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
