The TRUTH About VOX's Video: "The gun solution we're not talking about"

About this video

Colion deconstructs a Vox video advocating for universal background checks and gun licensing, arguing that these proposals are ineffective solutions that make exercising Second Amendment rights unnecessarily burdensome. He contends that existing background check failures stem from government agencies not doing their jobs, not from gaps in the law, and warns that universal background checks are a stepping stone toward gun registries and licensing schemes designed to discourage gun ownership through cost and complexity.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that universal background checks won’t reduce gun violence, citing DOJ data showing less than 1% of criminals obtain guns from gun shows and studies finding no effect on homicide or suicide rates
• He claims gun licensing systems like Massachusetts’ are designed to make purchasing firearms so time-consuming, expensive, and confusing that people are deterred from exercising their Second Amendment rights
• Colion maintains that background check system failures result from government agencies not submitting records properly, not from legal loopholes, and believes citizens shouldn’t be further restricted because of government incompetence
• He warns that proponents frame measures as ‘reasonable’ compromises but will always demand more restrictions, viewing universal background checks as a Trojan horse for national gun registries
