Washington State's New Gun Control Law Debate - Colion Noir & Jonathan Harris

About this video

Colion debates a Democratic strategist about Washington state’s voter-approved initiative raising the minimum age to 21 for semi-automatic rifle purchases. Colion argues the law is disrespectful to young adults who can serve in the military, dangerous because it leaves 18-20 year-olds without lawful means of self-defense, and disingenuous given that rifles account for a small fraction of homicides. He contends that the real issues are social and economic problems, suicide, and substance abuse rather than access to firearms.

Key takeaways

• Colion believes age-based gun restrictions are inconsistent when young adults can serve in the military with automatic weapons but cannot own rifles at home for self-defense
• According to Colion, rifles account for less than 2% of gun deaths in America, making restrictions on them disproportionate to the actual threat they pose
• Colion argues that mass shootings stem from deeper social issues like heroin epidemics and socioeconomic problems in communities, not firearm availability
