The Media Is Lying To You About Mass Shootings & Here's The Proof

About this video

Colion discusses his conversation with John Lott about how organizations like Gun Violence Archive classify mass shootings. Colion argues that these groups inflate mass shooting statistics by including gang violence and other incidents that differ significantly from public mass shootings. He and Lott explore what Colion describes as misleading data presentation, the disparate impact of gun control laws on minorities and the poor, and Lott’s proposals for what he calls reasonable background check reforms.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that Gun Violence Archive is a gun control advocacy group that inflates mass shooting numbers by including gang-related violence and incidents with fewer than four deaths, unlike the FBI’s traditional definition
• Colion and Lott contend that costly permit fees, training requirements, and background check fees disproportionately prevent poor minorities in high-crime areas from legally obtaining firearms for self-defense
• Colion reports Lott’s claim that the current background check system generates millions of false denials that disproportionately affect law-abiding Black and Hispanic males due to name similarities with felons
