AP Photo/Jim Vertuno As the COVID-19 pandemic wanes, we’ve reported in the past the “uptick” in “mass shootings”. Any excuse in the book that can be grabbed, the anti freedom caucus will. Take for example the most recent holiday weekend. The news site Insider took the liberty to report statistics from the Gun Violence Archive and talk about how many “mass shootings” occurred over Independence Day weekend. Naturally, the pandemic coming to an end is pegged as one of the causal factors for the increase in violence.
Before even diving into the Insider piece , we need to explore the flawed approach of the Gun Violence Archive. Recently Lee Williams, one of my colleagues at AmmoLand News , The Second Amendment Foundation’s Investigative Journalism Project , and Armed American News completely eviscerated the data that the Gun Violence Archive puts forward. Williams’s keen eye caught onto an interesting detail that everyone needs to pay attention to. According to a recently released report from the FBI, there were far fewer mass shootings over the past four years than were reported by the Gun Violence Archive, a private nonprofit that provides the data cited most often by the mainstream media. According to their new report titled: “Active Shooter Incidents in the United States in 2020,” the FBI defines active shootings as: Shootings in public places
Shootings occurring at more than one location
Shootings where the shooter’s actions were not the result of another criminal act
Shootings resulting in a mass killing
Shootings indicating apparent spontaneity by the shooter
Shootings where the shooter appeared to methodically search for potential victims

Shootings that appeared focused on injury to people, not buildings or objects
Shootings were excluded from the FBI’s list if they were the result of: Self-defense Gang violence Drug violence Contained residential or domestic disputes Controlled barricade/hostage situations Crossfire as a byproduct of another ongoing criminal act An action that appeared not to have put other people in peril By comparison, the Gun Violence Archive, (www.gunviolencearchive.org) or GVA, excludes nothing, even if the shooting is gang or drug-related – the two main causes […]

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.
