America Doesn’t Have a Gun Problem — The Data Just Proved It

About this video

Colion examines recent crime statistics showing a significant drop in violent crime and murders across the U.S. in 2025, arguing this contradicts the narrative that America has a gun problem. He points out that these decreases are occurring alongside record-high gun ownership, with approximately 26 million first-time gun buyers since 2020, and emphasizes that defensive gun use significantly outnumbers criminal homicides according to his analysis of available data.

Key takeaways

• Colion reports that murders dropped approximately 20% in 2024-2025 according to crime index data from over 500 police departments, which he argues represents the largest single-year drop in homicides ever recorded
• He argues that the decline in violent crime is occurring simultaneously with record gun ownership (26.2 million first-time buyers since 2020), which he believes contradicts claims that more guns cause more violence
• Colion breaks down gun death statistics, noting that over 60% are suicides rather than homicides, and argues that defensive gun uses (60,000 to millions annually by his account) outnumber criminal killings by a significant margin
