The Gun That “Fired Itself”, You Won't Believe The New Details
About this video
Colion breaks down the case of an Air Force shooting initially blamed on a SIG M18 allegedly firing by itself, which Colion reports was later revealed to be negligence covered up by a lie. He argues that the airman involved broke safety rules, pointed the gun as a joke, then instructed witnesses to falsely claim the gun discharged on its own. Colion uses this incident to illustrate how misinformation spreads quickly and fuels anti-gun narratives, emphasizing the importance of waiting for facts before accepting viral headlines.
Key takeaways
- Colion reports that the airman’s death was caused by negligence, not a defective firearm, and that witnesses were told to lie about what happened
- According to Colion, the false narrative led the Air Force to suspend use of the M18 for a month and fueled lawsuits and media stories blaming the gun itself
- Colion teaches that viral misinformation about firearms can drive policy and erode Second Amendment rights when people accept headlines without waiting for verified facts
