Noir’s analysis, paired with his sharp commentary, raises questions about how the attack might have unfolded differently if Thompson had been armed.

The December 4th shooting took place in Midtown Manhattan near Rockefeller Plaza. Surveillance footage obtained by NBC News shows Thompson walking when the gunman ambushes him from behind, firing multiple shots before fleeing the scene on an electric bike.

The NYPD has labeled the attack a targeted hit, with a manhunt underway for the suspect.

Noir focused on a key detail from the video: the shooter’s gun malfunctioned multiple times.

“Anyone who’s seen the video can see that the shooter’s gun jammed like four or five times after he strikes Thompson the first time,” Noir explained.

Noir argued that if Thompson had been armed, the repeated malfunctions might have given him an opportunity to respond.

“That’s a lot of time in a life-or-death situation. If Thompson had been armed, he could have drawn his own gun, returned fire, and likely stopped the threat.”

Another point Noir highlighted was the use of a suppressor, which is illegal in New York.

“Here’s something else that stands out—this happened in New York, where suppressors are illegal, yet somehow this guy managed to get his hands on one. I’m not saying that to call for more laws; I’m saying it to point out how useless these existing laws are.”

Noir emphasized that laws failed to prevent the shooter from obtaining the suppressor and carrying out the attack.

The surveillance footage also revealed that the shooter repeatedly racked the slide between shots, likely due to a compatibility issue between the suppressor and the firearm.

“What’s wild is that this guy didn’t even know his suppressor and ammo wouldn’t work with his gun. He turned it into what was basically a one-shot bolt-action handgun. If he had actually tested this setup beforehand, he would have known it wasn’t going to run,” he added.

Noir tied the incident back to a broader critique of gun control, questioning the lack of protection for Thompson.

“How is this even possible in a city with some of the strictest gun laws in the country and the most police officers walking the streets? Where was the protection for this guy? This man was the CEO of a massive corporation,” he said, “yet he had no armed security with him. How does that make sense?”

Noir predicted that the attack would be used to push for stricter gun laws.

“New York is going to use this incident to push for even more restrictions on suppressors. They’ll claim suppressors are too dangerous and use this as proof we need to crack down harder. But let’s not forget, no law stopped this from happening,” he said.

For Noir, the incident underscores the importance of the Second Amendment.

“Gun control doesn’t work. Laws don’t stop criminals, and the government isn’t going to be there to protect you when it counts. If Brian Thompson had been armed, this could have probably ended differently,” he said. “That’s what the Second Amendment is about—protecting yourself when no one else can or will.”
