Why Did Gun Crime DOUBLE After the UK Banned Guns?

About this video

Colion critiques the narrative that the UK’s 1997 gun ban eliminated gun violence, using a reported fatal shooting and stabbing of a teenager in Birmingham as a starting point. He argues that UK government data shows gun crime more than doubled after the handgun ban, and contends that violence persists but is underreported due to media culture and lack of a First Amendment. Colion concludes that gun bans disarm law-abiding citizens while criminals continue to obtain firearms illegally, and that improved medical care reduces gun homicides without reducing actual shootings.
