Colion Noir Tackles Misconceptions About Gun Violence

Jurgen's experience, well that's what I wanted to talk to you about one of the things like, did anything change once people started buying guns? higher than that really yeah, okay let's go look for it, suppose I'm thinking it's like 40, jeremy, what do you think? What's your guess? What is the percentage? Yeah, that sounds good, I bet I have a different question, but okay, I'm looking for that. because I see the 500,000 to 3 million statistic, but it's why the center for disease control would really be because they want to make it a health care issue, because if that's the case, you hear them say it all the time, they say this.

It's a public health issue, it's an easier sell on gun control when you think of it as a publix no different than you think it is to be coveted on the vaccine, why wouldn't it be the ATF? Because it's easier to sell it as a public health issue, I know, but guns are literally in its title, yes, exactly, and if you say it the way Biden says it, you change tobacco, but you have to, yes, They are very good, the only thing I will say about them and when I say them I mean the gun control lobby, which Generally speaking, a lot of people who follow me are more liberal and they hate when I mention the Democrats, they hate it because they think that only I'm trying to push this one-sided narrative regarding Republicans, no.

That's what it is, if you look at all the gun control legislation, you look at anyone who's pushing for gun control, the vast majority of them, I'm talking, 99 of the time are Democrats, why do you think that's Is it because democrats are the democratic ideology? based on a broader governmental right, so you can't necessarily claim your control over a group of people if they have something as self-sufficient as a firearm. Do you really think that's what it is? I think you would agree. That's all. It's that the ideology behind being a leftist person is that you want less

violence

and I think maybe you're more reluctant to take into account real human nature and the potential real collapse of society that would make you need a gun.

I think they are more idealistic, more utopian and perhaps more delusional. I think people who vote Democrat believe that I think the people in power have a different agenda. I think I think theirs and honestly, they are. They are the proverbial hammer, so when you when you are in that situation when your core ideologies are based on bigger government you believe that the solution to everything is more government, so if a shooting happens, do we really believe that government is the most efficient entity to solve problems in In our country no one complains about the government all the time, but when you are the government and something like a shooting happens and people like us have to do something about it, okay, more government, let's discard these laws here like restricting that, taking that to take on a more apparent role rather than an entity designed to find real solutions to solve a problem, so they say okay, if this small number of people are killing people with guns, take away the guns, it's just an oversimplified approach to any problem. that comes about because they're not really about getting to the real point of the problem, they just want to make it seem like they're doing something about it and therefore they'll just take the easy approach or try to scapegoat you. in some way because at the end of the day they realize that their ineptitude with respect to leadership is going to go into overdrive, more specifically in our urban centers, so if the vast majority I mean about 80 percent of the homicides with firearms in this country.

They come from our urban centers and we have 400 million guns in this country, is 80 really damn close? Yes, it's tall, it's tall. I'm talking about gun homicides, no, not like gun deaths, right? when it comes to gun deaths, then you start including suicide exactly, yes, and if you understand that that means we're having a high concentration of a high concentrated level of

violence

in very specific areas of this country, right? and as a result of that, you look at that and say, well, we have a high concentration, we have an era of violence concentrated in specific areas, but yet we have guns all over the country that don't have this violence, so clearly there is something else going on. here besides the fact that there are guns and predominantly these inner cities are run by democrats, it just is what it is, it doesn't exactly get any crazier, so it stands to reason that you're not doing something in these places that you should be doing to deal with with this violence yes and then you know in my research and in my study when I was reading this book it's called I think it's like uh don't shoot or something like that I can't remember the exact title so I was I read this book and it talked about a program called Stop the fire.

There is a program currently called ceasefire, but I don't think it's the same program, or it's an old shell of itself, but you know this guy, this criminologist. He set out and I think it was done in Boston and they were dealing with a lot of violence in their inner cities and what they did was they put together a program that was a very holistic approach to violence and essentially the police officers came together with the community leaders and so on. , and they knew who the perpetrators of this violence were. You have to think about it.

Do we really honestly believe that the vast majority of these inner city kids are murderers? No, it takes a very specific type. of person to be a murderer, so many of the murders that take place in these places are committed by a group of children highly concentrated in these areas and the vast majority of the time the police know who these children are. The perpetrators of this violence are and so what they did was they got together, they said, okay, this is what we are going to do and they brought the gang leaders and the children, the children who were on the street, like this. that forward and so on came together and I look, we're not going to say that we're not going to rescue for drug trafficking because I mean, whatever happens with respect to that, but if the bodies continue, we're going to make life. incredibly difficult for you on these streets, really difficult and as time went on, the violence stopped, the number decreased because at the end of the day, you have to think that a lot of these kids carry guns, not because they want to go kill someone .

They carry guns because they are afraid to grow up, they have grown up in an environment that has forced them to adopt the lifestyle they lead in general, so if I am a child and even if I don't I want to participate in this particular lifestyle, if that's the only thing around me and I know that at any moment my life could be threatened, I'll also carry a gun or even if I'm a child, that's how you look. I just want I want to make some extra money I'm not justifying the drug dealer I'm not justifying selling drugs but if I'm a kid that just says you know what I want to do I want to sell money because I grew up and the only way to success I've ever seen was drug dealers in my area so I'm going to sell drugs of course she's going to carry a fire I'm selling drugs there are going to be other people who are going to try to take her product and so on doesn't necessarily mean she's a murderer so when you focus completely on the firearm and only the firearm, it does nothing to deal with the issue that's good the underlying issue that is happening in these places is a socioeconomic issue when you grow up in poverty sorry va If there is a predisposition regarding your area, you are going to have more violence there because what is it? the natural economy there, the drugs, that's one of the strangest aspects of gun violence is the reluctance to address the violence and the urban centers while focusing on the violence of the rare mass shooter because the inner city, as if You look at the south side of Chicago, it's a regular yes, it's almost every weekend there are a lot of homicides.

I think the reason is because, like you, you actually mentioned it, how do you prevent violence in the inner city? You're going to have to solve the crime. No, I mean just you, how? Exactly avoid staying out of the city center, however, when people feel that a random yo-yo can walk into a store and just start shooting people, it terrifies them, which is understandable, yes, it's totally understandable, but none of these laws they are proposing do that. They won't do anything to stop this, so it begs the question: is the goal really to try to save lives or are they taking advantage of these shootings to get this specific agenda they've approved?
