Joe Rogan & Alonzo Bodden Talk Gun Laws - Clarifying Misconceptions on Form 4473 & Shotguns
About this video
Colion responds to a conversation between Joe Rogan and Alonzo Bodden about guns and gun laws, focusing on two common misconceptions. He breaks down what the ATF Form 4473 actually is (a questionnaire before the FBI background check, not the check itself) and debunks the myth that shotguns don’t require careful aiming. Colion argues that gun store employees perpetuate false information when they tell customers shotguns spray wide patterns, demonstrating that shotgun patterns remain tight at typical self-defense distances and require precise aim.
Key takeaways
- According to Colion, the 4473 form is a questionnaire and affidavit submitted before the FBI runs the actual background check—it is not itself the background check
- Colion argues that the common belief that shotguns don’t require aiming is false; he demonstrates that shotgun pellet patterns remain small and concentrated at 5-10 yards, requiring careful aim
- Colion teaches that shotguns, especially pump-action models, are difficult to operate under stress and can jam if short-stroked, making them challenging defensive tools for inexperienced users
