No one expected such a dramatic event to take place after a gun control law was repealed.

Brave gun owners took action and many lives were saved.

And now many people are breathing a huge sigh of relief.

Anti-gun activists always try to sell people on the proposition that if gun control laws are taken off the books, people will die.

There is no evidence to back this up, but they repeat this line so many times that it just becomes an assumption in people’s minds.

But as more and more states reject the lies of the gun control lobby and pass Constitutional Carry, the truth simply becomes too obvious to ignore.

Florida is one of the most recent states to make this move, as Gov. Ron DeSantis made it a major priority for his administration.

Groups like Moms Demand Action and Everytown were screeching that the law was going to lead to the deaths of a huge number of people.

But now that the true statistics have been released, it’s clear that this new law has saved the lives of many Floridians.

According to The Truth About Guns, “Instead of homicides going through the roof as the gun control lobby predicted, Ron DeSantis’ home turf has actually seen fewer homicides. A lot fewer.

“In fact, with 29 states how practicing some version of Constitutional Carry (as in ‘I don’t need no stinkin’ permit!’) for law-abiding residents, the murder rate has fallen 19% in 2024. So much for blood in the streets.”

This is a shocking statistic for people who haven’t been paying attention to the issue, as the gun control lobby’s narrative has become a part of the public consciousness at this point.

But for gun rights supporters, they will be totally unsurprised to see these numbers, as they know that more guns leads to less crime.

The gun control lobby, for what it’s worth, continues to have a temper tantrum over the repeal of the permit requirement in Florida.

Here is what the president of Everytown had to say, according to a quote from the article: “If Governor DeSantis and Republican legislators truly cared about public safety and protecting law enforcement, they’d be championing laws to keep guns out of dangerous hands — but instead, they’re choosing to flood Florida’s streets with concealed guns. These lawmakers just made it clear they serve the gun lobby, not the clear majority of Florida voters — including Republicans — who favor high standards for carrying a hidden gun.”

The founder of Moms Demand Action said this: “Even for Florida lawmakers, this is a new low — rushing to score gun lobby points on the heels of another mass shooting, before parents have even had a chance to bury their murdered children.”

Instead of blaming pro-gun lawmakers for the deaths of children, perhaps these activists should try to find a way to explain the statistics showing that the murder rate actually went down.

It seems quite clear that the Second Amendment has actually saved lives in Florida.
