How Is The Murder Rate Dropping With Gun Ownership Rising?

About this video

Colion examines recent FBI data showing drops in violent crime and murder rates in 2023, despite rising gun ownership in America. He argues this contradicts the Biden administration’s narrative that more guns lead to more violence and supports his long-held position that gun control isn’t necessary to reduce crime. Colion suggests the perception of rising crime is driven by sensationalized media coverage and social media amplification rather than actual statistical trends.

Key takeaways

• Colion reports that FBI data shows violent crime dropped 8% and murders in major cities fell 12.7% in 2023, while gun ownership has risen 10 percentage points over the past decade
• Colion argues that most gun owners (72% according to his cited data) buy firearms for protection, not criminal purposes, and that a very small percentage of people are responsible for most violence
• Colion contends that social media and sensationalized news coverage create a distorted perception that crime is rising when statistics show it’s actually declining
