Open Carry ‘Terrorizes Children’ and ‘Destabilizes Daily Life,’ Says California AG

About this video

Colion critiques California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s statement that open carry “terrorizes children,” arguing this is a narrative rather than a safety argument. He points out that police open carry without causing panic, and contends that children aren’t naturally afraid of guns but are taught to fear them. Colion frames California’s opposition to a federal court ruling striking down the state’s open carry ban as an effort to maintain government monopoly on force rather than genuine concern for public safety.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that if the sight of guns terrorized children, kids would fear police officers who openly carry firearms
• According to Colion, children are not naturally afraid of guns but are conditioned to fear them through targeted messaging
• Colion contends that California’s resistance to the Baird v. Bonta ruling (which found the state’s open carry ban unconstitutional) is about controlling the narrative around government authority rather than protecting public safety
