Frequently Asked Questions

Is gun ownership a right or a privilege?

Colion Noir argues that gun ownership and the right to carry are fundamental constitutional rights, not privileges. He contrasts this with driving, which is considered a privilege and can be conditional on affordability and licensing.

Should gun training be affordable for everyone?

Yes, Colion Noir believes that while training is important, it should not be a financial barrier to exercising the right to self-defense. He suggests basic safety can be learned freely and advocates for making formal training accessible.

Why is gun ownership crucial for lower-income communities?

Individuals in areas with higher rates of violence, often those with lower incomes, need firearms for self-defense more than affluent individuals. Denying them this right due to training costs is seen as unjust.

What is the argument against mandatory gun licensing fees?

The argument is that mandatory gun licensing fees can act as a barrier, turning a constitutional right into a privilege dependent on financial means. This is seen as a revenue-generating scheme rather than a necessary safety measure.
