Colion Noir Takes on Vice's Mark Hay's Anti-Gun Deception

About this video

Colion criticizes what he describes as the misleading practice of conflating gang violence in inner cities with random mass shootings in gun violence statistics. He argues that media outlets and gun control advocates inappropriately lump together fundamentally different types of violence to inflate numbers and push restrictive legislation. Colion announces he is producing a video series examining inner-city violence, which he contends is rooted in poverty, failed education systems, and decades of political neglect rather than gun availability.

Key takeaways

• Colion distinguishes between unpredictable mass shootings and gang violence, arguing the latter follows predictable patterns tied to specific neighborhoods and socioeconomic conditions
• According to Colion, gun control advocates historically used the ‘30,000 gun deaths’ statistic deceptively by including suicides (over 60%) without context, and now inappropriately add inner-city gang violence to mass shooting counts
• Colion contends that political leaders in affected communities have offered only gun control measures for decades while neglecting root causes like poverty, poor education, and lack of opportunity
