54 arrested, 34 illegal firearms seized in summer-long operation in Sarasota
SARASOTA, Fla. (WFLA) — In a summer-long operation, Sarasota officials recovered 34 illegal firearms and arrested 54 people in “Operation Safe Summer.”
From May through August, the police department and sheriff’s office joined forces to reduce gun violence and substances in the Sarasota community.
The operation led to 54 arrests including 95 felony and 41 misdemeanor charges.
Some firearms were seized from juveniles, authorities said.
Along with targeting gun-related crimes, officials also seized the following:
950.5 grams of cocaine
15.5 grams of fentanyl
6 grams of heroin
20.1 grams of methamphetamine
1,410.4 grams of marijuana
18.7 grams of oxycodone
104.9 grams of synthetic cannabinoids
$28,625 in cash
“This operation is just one example of how we’re working around the clock, often behind the scenes, to keep Sarasota safe,” Chief Rex Troche said. “Even when you don’t see us, our officers are out there, making sure our community is protected from those who pose a threat. We’ll continue to be relentless in our efforts to reduce gun violence and safeguard our residents.”
Anyone with any information regarding illegal or stolen firearms is asked to contact the Sarasota Police Department’s non-emergency line at 941-316-1191. Anonymous tips can be made to Crime Stoppers at 941-366-8477 or online.

would that be like a rainbow glock?
I looked through the pics in the link, and saw no such thing?
Can you elaborate on "Gay pride Glock"?

Green Glock.
Purple not a Glock - my mistake.
Red thing sticking out the back of black Glock.
At least 3 colors represented in addition to black.

And none of that will result in anything. All the street level pushers will be replaced and the amount of dope taken off the streets is trivial.
There is an unquenchable market for dope because Americans want to get high. The war on drugs is an abject failure of policy and an assault on civil rights.
Mankind has been getting blitzed since before we came down from the trees. It is part of human nature to consume stuff that alters one's perception of reality. That'll never change.

Drugs are not harmful. Just ask the two old geezers they hired for commercials pushing to pass recreational.

It isn't if they're harmful or not. It is the simple issue that the war on drugs is an abject failure and has done nothing to stop drug abuse. But it has utterly gutted our civil rights.

The precedents used for the "war on drugs" were all relied upon (and expanded) after 9/11 to use for the "war on [Islamic] terrorism."
Now, in turn, THOSE expanded precedents are being used (and expanded upon once again) to use for the "war on domestic terrorism," i.e. the war on you and yours, honkey gun owner.
Some us tried to warn about this decades ago, but "conservatives" who obsessed over the issue (the late Antonin Scalia being one of the most notable) would not hear of it, They built and expanded the tool box that is being used to tear down every last vestige of the Bill of Rights.
