Criminals prefer unarmed victims; it isn't rocket science. A well-armed society, is a polite society, as long as the law-abiding citizens are who is armed.
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.”
Contrary to the fearmongering, data now reveals a decline in violent crimes since the adoption of constitutional carry. In Jacksonville, murders and homicides dropped by 6 percent in 2023 compared to the previous year.
The most notable reduction occurred in Miami, where homicides went from 49 in 2022 to 31 in 2023 – the lowest recorded number in the Magic City. Additionally, non-fatal shootings in Miami decreased by 34 percent, and non-contact shootings saw a notable decline.
