From now on, we should just have a one-word answer whenever the Left tries to exploit tragedy: NO
Texas Representative Matt Schaefer spoke for every patriotic defender of liberty when he tweeted out what we are NOT going to do when it comes to the acts of criminals. Thankfully, President Trump sees the wisdom in doing something other than obsessing over background checks as reported on Real Clear Politics: Trump: Background Checks Will Not Stop Mass Shootings, “It’s A Mental Problem”
For the most part, as strong as you make your background checks, they would not have stopped any of it. So it’s a big problem. It’s a mental problem. It’s a big problem.”
An epic series of tweets saying NO to more liberty control
In an epic series of tweets that set off the totalitarian twitters of the authoritarian socialist left, the august Representative set forth what should be the answer whenever they once again try to exploit someone else’s pain for their crass political gain.
I am NOT going to use the evil acts of a handful of people to diminish the God-given rights of my fellow Texans. Period. None of these so-called gun-control solutions will work to stop a person with evil intent. 2/6

What can we do? YES to praying for victims. YES to praying for protection. YES to praying that God would transform the hearts of people with evil intent. YES to fathers not leaving their wives and children. YES to discipline in the homes. 4/6
— Matt Schaefer (@RepMattSchaefer) September 1, 2019
YES to your God-given, constitutionally protected rights. YES to God, and NO to more government intrusions. 6/6

It is time for patriots of the pro-liberty right to say NO to the ever encroaching left in attacking liberty. We don’t mete out collective punishment for other people who have certain beliefs or have certain possessions. Why is this different on the subject of self-defense?
Are we going to restrict the sales of fuel because of it’s recent use in mass murder in Japan and Mexico? Are we going to put restrictions on the sale or possession of anything that could be used to produce an edged weapon: Stone, wood, metal, plastic, ceramic, hard candy?
We know the true purpose of all the non-sense restrictions on liberty
Despite leftist use of talking points that are laughably untrue such as the ‘no one is talking about gun confiscation’ we know the true purpose of their demands.
We know that Intergalactic Background Checks are entirely useless in doing anything about societal violence. Everyone [even leftists] should know that criminals don’t obey the law, thus adding another law on top of the pile will do nothing.
The true purpose of Intergalactic Background Checks
We know that the true purpose of Intergalactic Background Checks [Universal, enhanced] is to set up for unconstitutional governmental control over private property as well as registration and gun confiscation. Were we to agree to this useless step, the liberty grabbers will immediately demand gun registration. In other words, obtain permission from the government to retain a God-given human right.
Studies have shown these do nothing to keep anyone safe, they are only a stepping stone to confiscation.
The true purpose of ‘Red Flag’ Gun confiscation SWATing
As was exemplified in as case where these unconstitutional abominations were used to punish someone who dares speak out against the AntiFirst Amendment [AntiFA]. These loathsome laws have two true purposes. One to begin the process of confiscating guns [while leftists all over deny anyone is confiscating guns]. Two, as a means of punishing wrongthink or speech that the Left has decided is now verboten.
Not only are these laws not needed, but they are useless for their intended purpose and have made things worse.
The true purpose of restrictions on magazine capacity.
The liberty grabber left doesn’t define the term ‘high capacity’ because it will be gradually winnowed down to zero. Magazines can be changed in a second or two, so these further restrictions on freedom serve no purpose than to be gradually decreased – first to 10, then to 5, then to one or none.
The true purpose of ‘assault weapon’ buy backs – at gunpoint
There is no definition for the phrase ‘assault weapon’, thus it can be applied to anything. The true purpose of these laws is to use the tactic of divide and conquer, in that those who don’t own these types of firearms [yet] will agree with the moderate view of the government confiscating property from someone else.
The Bottom Line – The answer to any further exploitations of tragedy: NO!!
When leftists scream that we need to ‘do something’ they really only mean one thing: Gun confiscation or its precursors. They never mention their culpability in destroying the country’s moral underpinnings. They never mention that their obsession with exploiting tragedy only encourages further tragedy. They never mention that their absurd ideas such as liberty free zones or gun confiscation will only make the situation worse – far worse. Government is by far the biggest purveyor of mass murder – after the people have been disarmed.
As JD Rucker pointed out: Opposing gun control after mass shootings is absolutely necessary. We have the facts on our side, liberty control never works and the fact is more lives are saved by guns than are taken. If the national socialist left is going to exploit every tragedy for their crass political gain, then we have to be in there with the facts to refute their lies. The cause of liberty demands nothing less.

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.
