David Hogg Says You Have No Right To Own A Gun & You Are Not A Militia

About this video

Colion responds to a social media post claiming the Second Amendment only protects state militias (like the National Guard) and that individuals have no gun rights. He argues that Supreme Court precedent and historical scholarship support an individual right to firearms, and teaches that ’the militia’ refers to the people themselves, not government-controlled forces. Colion uses Founding-era sources and academic research to make his case that the Second Amendment protects both individual self-defense and the broader concept of an armed citizenry.

Key takeaways

• Colion asserts that the Supreme Court’s Heller decision recognized an individual right to firearms for lawful purposes like self-defense, not just a collective state right
• He argues from historical sources that ’the militia’ meant the body of the people, not a government-controlled National Guard, and that the founders intended an armed citizenry as a check on tyranny
• Colion teaches that the Bill of Rights protects individual rights as a whole, and removing one right undermines all others
