Does The Asian Community Care About The Second Amendment w Chris Cheng

About this video

Colion interviews Chris Cheng, a fellow Second Amendment advocate and Top Shot winner, about violence against Asian Americans and the Asian-American community’s relationship with gun rights. Cheng shares his perspective on cultural factors that have historically discouraged Asian Americans from reporting crimes or speaking out publicly, including family pride and distrust of law enforcement stemming from countries of origin. He argues that younger-generation Asian Americans are increasingly embracing Second Amendment rights as a means of self-defense, particularly in response to recent attacks and the ‘defund the police’ movement.

Key takeaways

• Cheng describes cultural tendencies in some Asian-American communities to stay quiet about victimization due to family pride, saving face, and distrust of law enforcement rooted in country-of-origin experiences
• Cheng explains that first- and second-generation Asian immigrants often lack gun ownership traditions because most Asian countries (except the Philippines and Thailand) lack personal firearm ownership concepts, and immigrants typically come to the U.S. for economic opportunity rather than Second Amendment freedoms
• Cheng reports that younger Asian Americans are now ‘waking up’ to Second Amendment rights and driving new gun ownership in response to anti-Asian violence, civil unrest, and concerns about police availability
