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.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
