DataRepublican Exposes Disastrous Funding Of Anti-Second Amendment Nonprofits

Do you ever wonder why the enormous amount of taxes we pay is never enough and how many anti-American dumpster fires might be funded right under our noses as we witness the deterioration of public education, infrastructure, Veteran’s services, and Social Security? DataRepublican.com is helping to connect those insidiously wasteful dots by exposing the trafficking of money into the hands of deceptive nonprofits who redistribute the funds to leftist anti-Second Amendment groups like Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety, as recently pointed out by Lee Williams at The Gun Writer. 

Nonprofits, like left-wing organization NEO Philanthropy, claiming it provides “resources to groups accelerating change,” receive sizeable donations through the front door only to quietly pass them out the back door to anti-Second Amendment groups that have always attempted to keep funding data from the public’s prying eyes. Data Republican does not just threaten this secrecy; it provides a searchable database of charities, principal officers, federal grants, and even voter turnout analysis, information that, with any luck, will find its way into conservative megaphones. The database also contains alerts, informing users when a particular nonprofit receives a large portion from taxpayer funds.

Already having received endorsements from Elon Musk, who said, “Worth following @datarepublican,” and high praise from Charlie Kirk, “Love your insights! You’re a must follow on this platform:” Data Republican is poised to become a popular tool for Second Amendment groups and gun rights activists. In fact, the website not only outs intermediaries masquerading as nonprofits, it also exposes federal agencies dispersing tax dollars for anti-Second Amendment causes, like the Agency for International Development (USAID), which receives funding from Congress and had $892.11 Million distributed to the organization for the 2025 fiscal year. USAID says it is “primarily responsible for administering civilian foreign aid and development assistance”; however, this claim may prove equally deceptive to those of nonprofits. 

Hannah Hill, vice president of the National Foundation for Gun Rights, the legal arm of the National Association for Gun Rights, recently used DataRepublican.com to expose USAID contributions to organizations that exist solely to promote the disarming of Americans.  

“Today, @DataRepublican's tool helped 2A advocates link USAID funds to Everytown, Giffords & more… It looks damning at first blush—we're digging deeper. Stay tuned,” said the National Association for Gun Rights in a post on X. 

I’ll confess to going down the Data Republican rabbit hole myself last weekend, then suddenly looking up and realizing I had spent four hours digging through information that I will use to mold much of my own financial decision-making process for the future, but what of the decisions we don’t have a say in? It is not ethical, or legal for that matter, for our government to spend tax dollars funding organizations whose goal it is to diminish an inalienable right recognized by the Constitution of the United States. Of course, this is part of a pattern that has emerged, not only in the Second Amendment debate but also in the discovery of government coercion of social media companies, from the Twitter files to revelations from Meta CEO himself, Mark Zuckerberg, who outlined the pressure placed on Facebook employees by the Biden administration to censor content they wanted off the platform.

"Basically, these people from the Biden administration would call up our team and, like, scream at them and curse," Zuckerberg said while a guest on Joe Rogan’s podcast. 

The truth about the Second Amendment is that the Founders meant to ensure the God-given right of citizens to defend themselves against a tyrannical government by keeping and bearing arms, acting as a safeguard against government overreach and oppression through fear of a standing army and the desire to protect individual liberty. Those who oppose this liberty scoff at the notion of the United States government going down such a dark and sinister path; however, even a cursory review of the Constitution reveals that the state of the union has been in peril for quite some time and that we have strayed far from our Foundational values. Tyranny is defined as oppressive power exerted by a government over its citizens. A government refusing to abide by its own most sacred laws protecting the rights of those citizens is nothing if not tyrannical, undoubtedly the basis for its discomfort with and opposition to the Bill of Rights.
