A good account about why it isn't so clear cut: https://www.palladiummag.com/2022/02/24/what-happened-in-kaz... In a video from January 5th, people can be seen snatching up rifles offloaded by a truck. Some were likely convinced on the spot to grab one of the firearms being handed out, but who was responsible for acquiring them? |

- weapons were owned by the military or LE
- Weapons were stolen from storage or armory by corrupt officials and put somewhere less secure for later sale
- someone who knew where they were and wanted to support the rioters stole them and shared them out quickly
- or criminal elements stole them and spread them to seed more chaos and tie up LE while they focused on robbing something more substantial
