gmsjs90 / Pixabay Texas will, in time, become a constitutional carry state, regardless of what some gun control fans may wish. For a while, it looked like it may not be this year, but it eventually made it through. Further, Gov. Greg Abbott has made it clear that he will make sign it. After all, he vowed to make the state a permitless carry state.
To that end, some anti-gunners are trying to dig in and get ready for that new eventuality.
In fact, a couple of bills have been introduced that some claim will try and blunt permitless carry . Governor Greg Abbott’s pledge to make Texas a “Second Amendment sanctuary” helped boost a bill that would make it legal to carry weapons in the state without a permit, a long-held goal of the gun lobby. After much back-and-forth, particularly from law enforcement who said it would make their jobs more dangerous and difficult, the bill is finally on its way to the governor’s desk. However, there have also been some surprising gun control measures that are looking like they might pass as well. First is Senate Bill 162 from State Sen. César Blanco (D-El Paso). A “lie and try” bill, it aims to make it so that people who are not allowed to carry guns are not able to keep trying to acquire them through repeated attempts. Blanco’s bill, which has now passed both chambers handily with bipartisan support, makes it illegal to receive a gun, even as a gift, while prohibited by law. It also makes lying on a background check forms a felony. The bill is in line with requests from the law enforcement lobby on the permitless carry bill, which would make it easier to disarm and confiscate people who own or carry weapons that do not have a legal right to do so. Approximately one-third of people denied a weapon because of a background check go on to commit another crime in the next five years. Whether the new bill will increase the rates of illegal weapon confiscation in practice is unknown, but it is […]

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.
