Gavin Newsom Says Gunslinging Citizens Are the Real Threat… Not Criminals

About this video

Colion criticizes California Governor Gavin Newsom’s response to a Ninth Circuit ruling that found the state’s open carry ban unconstitutional. Colion argues that Newsom’s office used inflammatory language like ‘gunslingers’ and ‘Wild Wild West’ to mischaracterize lawful gun owners, and contends that Newsom opposes both federal help and armed citizens because maintaining dependency on government preserves his political control. He further alleges that politicians intentionally perpetuate problems like crime to justify programs that benefit themselves and their allies.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that Newsom’s ‘gunslingers’ rhetoric is fear-mongering designed to demonize lawful gun carriers rather than address California’s crime problems
• According to Colion, carrying a firearm shifts a person’s mindset from government dependency to self-reliance, which threatens politicians who rely on citizens feeling they need government protection
• Colion claims that politicians intentionally maintain crime and social problems to justify funding programs that enrich themselves and their allies rather than solving issues
