About this video

Colion discusses New York politicians’ response to the Buffalo grocery store shooting, where a security guard’s shots were ineffective against the shooter’s body armor. He criticizes proposed legislation banning civilian ownership of enhanced body armor (level three and above) while exempting law enforcement, arguing this prioritizes government safety over citizens who face threats before first responders arrive. Colion contends body armor is passive self-defense and that constitutional logic supporting gun ownership should equally support protective equipment.

Key takeaways

  • Colion explains that New York legislators responded to the Buffalo shooting by proposing bans on civilian body armor ownership rather than expanding self-defense options
  • According to Colion, the proposed legislation exempts law enforcement while restricting ordinary citizens, despite citizens being initial targets in violent incidents
  • Colion argues that if the Second Amendment protects firearm ownership against tyrannical government, it should logically extend to protective equipment like body armor
