kenny / Pixabay It seems there’s a problem with gun confiscations at various tourist locations in Florida. Now, Florida is a fairly gun-friendly state, so this isn’t an artifact of new gun control laws making it impossible for people to carry guns.
No, this is something else.
Yet because of Florida’s status as a tourism destination, it seems a travel writer decided to weigh in on the matter , and it goes about as you’d expect. The development, unearthed through a search of public records by the Orlando Sentinel, is just one of several suggesting that guns are a stealth issue for the state’s visitor industry. Over 100 illegal guns were confiscated by authorities on Miami Beach earlier this year during a six-week period of spring break. … The problem is said to stem in part from an increase in gun purchases during the pandemic. Nationwide, more than 20,000 people were killed last year in the U.S. by firearms, a record number according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Although there’s no hard proof, the rise in deaths seems to parallel a more aggressive attitude in some parts of the population toward the exercise of Second Amendment rights. Put plainly, more people may be carrying weapons than in the past. Now, I’ll give the author credit for at least acknowledging that there’s a possibility that we’re not somehow responsible for the skyrocketing homicide rate.
However, he clearly does try to lay the blame on the surge in firearm purchases.
It seems he wasn’t aware of a recent study that noted that the increase in homicides isn’t because of the increase in gun sales. Especially since the gun buying surge started months before the increase in violent crime.
So what’s really going on?
Well, what our intrepid writer failed to note is that as crime increases, so too does people’s desire to carry a gun. They’re not walking into Disney with a gun because they want to shoot up the place. They’re trying to walk into Disney with a gun because they don’t trust they’ll be safe between the gate and their car.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
