Secret Society Helping NYC Bodega Workers Obtain Concealed Carry Permits
About this video
Colion discusses a news report about hundreds of New York City bodega owners who have obtained concealed carry permits through the United Bodegas of America, which Colion describes as forming a ‘secret society’ of armed store owners. He argues this development reveals the failure of New York’s strict gun control laws, since demand for carry permits surged after the Supreme Court required New York to issue them. Colion supports bodega owners arming themselves for self-defense, critiques the framing of firearms as inherently offensive or defensive tools (arguing they are simply tools), and predicts this shift will reduce bodega crimes while frustrating New York’s government.
Key takeaways
- Colion argues that widespread interest in concealed carry permits among New York bodega owners demonstrates that strict gun control laws failed to make people safe
- He supports bodega owners arming themselves and believes armed stores will become less attractive targets for criminals seeking easy victims
- Colion insists firearms are neutral tools rather than inherently offensive or defensive instruments, and criticizes what he sees as anti-gun framing that attributes moral qualities to inanimate objects
