USA Today Says You’re Wrong For Feeling Safer With A Gun

About this video

Colion critiques a USA Today opinion piece that argues guns in the home make people less safe. He challenges what he describes as the author’s statistical framing, argues the piece conflates suicides with defensive gun uses to inflate risk perception, and accuses the writer of using emotional appeals while hiding behind weak credentials. Colion maintains that the article’s logic leads to a broader anti-ownership agenda despite its surface focus on safe storage.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that anti-gun opinion pieces often use fear and herd mentality rather than logic, blending suicide statistics with homicides to create inflated danger perceptions
• He contends that defensive gun use estimates are deliberately minimized in studies by counting only police-reported incidents, ignoring situations where brandishing a firearm stops a crime without shots fired
• Colion claims that safe storage recommendations, while useful for preventing child access, are presented dishonestly when the real underlying message is that no one should own guns at all
