He explains how he’s shifted toward using Socratic method rather than aggressive debate tactics, arguing that converting minds is more effective than publicly dismantling opponents’ arguments. Colion shares his experience appearing on Bill Maher’s show as an example of how presenting gun rights perspectives in a thoughtful, non-stereotypical way can open dialogue and change minds.
