The Case for NO Gun Control
- Details
- By Joseph M. Bianchi
With the uptick in gun violence across America, and the tragic shooting in Nashville that took the lives of adults and children, it seems out of place and almost unhinged to make an argument for no gun control.
However, if we are to remain a free people and retain our liberties, as well as protect ourselves and others, the discussion must be put on the table.
No discussion of gun control, or the lack thereof, can begin without an understanding of what the Second Amendment means; viz., what was its original intention, and how is it applied today.
First off, here is the text of the amendment itself:
A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
The CCP Owns the Biden Administration

Can a balloon demonstrate who really owns the administration in Washington, and by association, American foreign policy?
Apparently, it can.
The recent transit and shoot down of a Chinese spy balloon are more than a metaphor for poor American foreign policy and decision making—it is proof positive that those who currently run our country are bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party.
What else can explain the reticence to shoot down a spy vehicle launched by a hostile country that invaded our air space and soared across the US gathering intelligence on some of our most sensitive and important military bases?
America is Living in the Matrix

- By Joseph M. Bianchi
The 1999 film The Matrix depicts a dystopian future where humanity is trapped in a simulated reality created by evil machines.
Fast forward to our world today on the cusp of 2023. While we may not be living in a simulated reality created by intelligent although evil machines, we as a country are certainly living in a reality created by the news media, social media—and the fact that most of us exist in our own mental bubble with our heads buried in our cell phones.
Fifty years ago, or so, the news was reported in somewhat of a straight-forward manner; facts were presented, and we were asked to draw our own conclusions. There were, of course, opinion pieces in the newspapers of the time and by commentors on TV—but the difference was that we were told that what we were hearing was the opinion of an individual with certain biases. That was fair enough.
