We Don't Have A Gun Problem, We have a Chicago Problem | Over 100 People Shot July 4th Weekend

About this video

Colion argues that America doesn’t have a widespread gun violence problem, but rather a concentrated inner-city violence problem, using Chicago’s Fourth of July weekend shootings as his primary example. He breaks down what he sees as media mischaracterization of gang and street violence as ‘mass shootings,’ which he believes inflates statistics and obscures the real issues. Colion emphasizes his view that gun control laws fail to address root causes and that individuals must take responsibility for their own defense.

Key takeaways

• Colion contends that gun violence in America is highly concentrated in specific areas (citing his claim that 2% of counties had 56% of murders), not evenly distributed as media coverage might suggest
• According to Colion, media and anti-gun groups conflate different types of gun violence (gang shootings, domestic incidents, actual mass shootings) under the term ‘mass shooting,’ which he believes prevents proper solutions tailored to each problem’s root cause
• Colion teaches that gun-free zones prevent armed citizens from stopping mass shootings, and he emphasizes his belief that individuals are their own first responders who need to be armed for self-protection
