Something Weird Is Happening To Gun Control Support

About this video

Colion analyzes a recent Rasmussen poll showing support for stricter gun control dropped to 48% among likely voters. He argues that public support for ‘assault weapon’ bans is inflated because the term is deliberately misleading—designed to make people think of fully automatic military weapons when it actually refers to ordinary semi-automatic firearms. Colion emphasizes that understanding firearm terminology and the difference between semi-automatic and fully automatic weapons is crucial to cutting through manipulative messaging.

Key takeaways

• Colion reports that according to Rasmussen, support for stricter gun control fell to 48% of likely voters, with 43% opposing it outright
• Colion explains that ‘assault weapon’ is not a technical firearm category but a deliberately vague marketing term created by gun control advocates to conflate semi-automatic rifles with fully automatic machine guns
• Colion notes the Supreme Court is considering a case on Second Amendment protections for AR-15 platform rifles, with a decision expected by early summer 2027
• Understanding the difference between semi-automatic (one trigger pull, one round) and fully automatic firearms is essential to recognizing how poll questions can manipulate responses
