The Media Lost Their Minds Over The New Florida Gun Law. But Violent Crime Dropped

In July 2023, when Florida became the 26th state to adopt constitutional carry through House Bill 543, media outlets and Democrats unleashed a wave of criticism, predicting an increase in violent crime.

However, more than six months later, evidence has emerged that challenges these claims, showcasing a significant drop in violent crimes, including shootings, in the Sunshine State’s major cities.
 
Corporate media and anti-gun advocates were quick to condemn Florida’s move toward constitutional carry. Headlines such as “Following mass shootings, DeSantis signs permitless carry bill” from NBC News and Forbes amplifying rhetoric from gun control groups set the stage for a fierce debate.

Even the White House joined in, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre calling it “shameful” and the “opposite of commonsense gun safety.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
