Caught On Video: United Health Care CEO Fatally Shot Execution Style With Silencer In NYC

About this video

Colion analyzes the targeted shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City, arguing that the victim might have survived if he had been armed, since the attacker’s gun malfunctioned multiple times during the incident. He contends that this case demonstrates the failure of strict gun control laws, noting that the shooter obtained an illegal suppressor and succeeded despite New York’s gun-free zones and heavy police presence. Colion expresses concern that anti-gun advocates will use this incident to push for stricter suppressor regulations, particularly given the timing coincides with efforts to remove suppressors from NFA restrictions.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that the CEO could have potentially defended himself during the attack since the shooter’s firearm malfunctioned four to five times, creating windows of opportunity for armed self-defense
• According to Colion, this incident demonstrates that gun control laws are ineffective, as the criminal obtained illegal weapons (including a suppressor banned in New York) and operated in gun-free zones despite heavy security presence
• Colion warns that anti-gun advocates will likely exploit this high-profile case to push for additional suppressor restrictions, which he views as particularly concerning given current efforts to deregulate suppressors at the federal level
