Rattling the Second Amendment Saber

According to Webster's New World College Dictionary, the term "saber rattling" is defined as:

a threatening of war, or a menacing show of armed force.

Some people call it posturing. In the animal world it's related to establishing "pecking order". Some
people would have us believe that a pecking order is a bad thing, that
it's barbaric, and should be reserved only for the animal world. I
disagree. It's a natural thing that will happen no matter how much
people try to suppress it. Pecking order keeps the world in a state of
organized cosmos. Every playground has one, every corporate board room,
and even the halls of Congress. It's the way the world works, and
without it there would be chaos and unending strife. People have to know
who is in charge and who must bend the knee and kiss the ring that
rules.

I suppose that's why firearms are so important. They are the equalizing force, available to all free people everywhere. They tell
the 200-pound sexually aggressive male that he must not rape the
120-pound female, who is alone on the street at night with no one around
to protect her. The firearm gives her the ability to kill the stronger
male.

Two more DC speakers announced!

Representative Paul Broun was elected in July of 2007 to serve the Tenth District of Georgia. Since his arrival in Congress he has been appointed
to positions on the House Homeland Security Committee (where he is Vice
Ranking Member of Intelligence), the House Committee on Science and
Technology (where he is Ranking Member of Investigations and Oversight),
and the House Committee on Natural Resources.
Paul C. Broun, Jr. grew up in Athens, Georgia where he attended
Athens High School and graduated from the University of Georgia in 1967
with a B.S. in Chemistry. In 1971, he received his Medical Doctor degree
from the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta. An internship at Good
Samaritan Hospital in Portland, Oregon and a residency at University
Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama followed.
Paul served in the military as a jet engine mechanic in the U. S.
Marine Corps Reserves and later received a commission as a medical
officer in the U. S. Navy.

For most of his career, Dr. Broun has practiced general medicine and,
in 2002, he went out on his own, establishing a unique practice of
full-time house calls. He has enjoyed the freedom of practicing medicine
without bureaucratic encumbrances and his patients appreciated the
convenience of being seen at home or at work.
Paul's first exposure to politics came at the age of sixteen, when
his father won a seat in the Georgia State Senate. Paul Broun Sr.
represented the Athens area as a State Senator for 38 years. Later, Paul
Jr. himself would become involved politically; first as a volunteer
lobbyist for Safari Club International, a pro-hunting and conservation
organization, then as a conservative Republican United States
Representative.

Bill Hunt is currently running for Sheriff of Orange County, California. After
serving in the United States Army after high school, Mr. Hunt rose
through the ranks of the Orange County Sheriff's Department, obtaining
a diverse background over 21 years within the department's divisions
including jails, patrol, investigations, training, narcotics, gangs,
SWAT, and management. Mr. Hunt strongly believes that the Sheriff
should be in the business of protecting people's rights, not
restricting them and has been an outspoken advocate for shall issue
legislation in the state of California where concealed weapons policies
are arbitrarily established by the county sheriff. As Sheriff, Mr. Hunt
will issue a concealed weapon to any law abiding resident of the county
not prohibited by law from possessing a firearm and is committed to
joining with other pro-2nd Amendment sheriff's in California to lobby
for shall issue legislation in the state. Bill Hunt has been endorsed
by a host of national 2nd Amendment leaders including Sheriff Richard
Mack, (Ret), Graham County Az., Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Maricopa County
Az., Suzanna Hupp, former Republican member of the Texas House of
Representatives, Dr. John Lott, Jr., Author of "More Guns, less Crime",
and Dr. Ignatius Piazza, Founder and Director of Front Sight Firearms
Training
Institute.
