Something About This “Mass Shooting” Story Felt Off

About this video

Colion argues that media outlets are misusing the term ‘mass shooting’ by applying it to street violence incidents like a pre-planned fight between teenagers in Winston-Salem that turned deadly. He contends that this linguistic shift conflates distinctly different types of violence—indiscriminate attacks on strangers versus targeted street conflicts—and that this reframing is strategically used to justify gun control laws that, in his view, only affect law-abiding citizens while leaving criminals unaffected. Colion emphasizes that the root causes of youth street violence involve moral formation and community issues, not firearm access.

Key takeaways

• Colion distinguishes between what he calls true ‘mass shootings’ (indiscriminate attacks on strangers) and street violence (pre-planned conflicts between groups), arguing the media conflates the two to inflate statistics.
• He teaches that expanded definitions of ‘mass shooting’ are used to justify gun control legislation that, in his analysis, impacts only law-abiding gun owners while criminals remain unaffected.
• Colion asserts that youth violence stems from failures in moral formation and community structure, not gun availability, and that gun laws cannot address these upstream causes.
