Ray Rice & Gun Control

About this video

Colion argues that the case of Shaneen Allen, a Pennsylvania mother prosecuted in New Jersey for unknowingly carrying a firearm across state lines, exposes what he sees as hypocrisy in the criminal justice system and anti-gun advocacy. He contrasts her felony charge with the lenient treatment given to NFL player Ray Rice for domestic violence, both handled by the same prosecutor. Colion claims this case demonstrates how gun laws criminalize well-intentioned citizens while failing to improve public safety.

Key takeaways

• Colion reports that Shaneen Allen, a licensed Pennsylvania carry permit holder, faced 3 years in prison after honestly disclosing her firearm to New Jersey police during a traffic stop
• Colion contends that prosecutor Jim McClain denied Allen pre-trial intervention while granting it to Ray Rice for domestic violence, which Colion characterizes as unjust and hypocritical
• Colion asserts that confusing reciprocity laws and harsh enforcement punish law-abiding gun owners more than criminals, who he suggests would simply lie to police
