What The FBI & Media Won't Tell You About Good Guys With Guns

About this video

Colion reacts to a John Stossel video examining media and FBI reporting bias around defensive gun use (DGU). He argues that Hollywood, news outlets, and government data systematically undercount or ignore stories where civilians use firearms to stop crimes, while saturating coverage with gun violence incidents. Colion breaks down examples Stossel presents—including nightclub shootings and a personal DGU interview—to illustrate what he sees as selective storytelling that shapes public perception against armed self-defense.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that mainstream media and Hollywood portray armed civilians as incompetent or dangerous, conditioning audiences to dismiss defensive gun use as rare or foolish
• He reports that John Lott’s research suggests 95% of defensive gun uses involve only brandishing a firearm, with no shots fired—incidents Colion says media rarely cover because they lack dramatic visuals
• Colion claims the FBI’s active shooter data is incomplete and politically shaped, omitting many DGU cases and creating what he describes as a misleading ‘baseline’ that politicians and activists cite as fact
• He emphasizes personal responsibility for safety, featuring an interview with a man who survived being shot in the face and used his concealed firearm to stop an attacker at a family gathering
