THE FOUR RULES

1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.

2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.

3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.

4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.

Winston Churchill said
"A GENTLEMAN, SELDOM, IF EVER, NEEDS A GUN.
BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE NEEDS IT VERY BADLY!"
Si Vis Paceum Para Bellum

Sam Adams, more than beer

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen”
Samuel Adams

Lincoln on power

"We must prevent these things being done, by either congresses or courts — The people — the people — are the rightful masters of both Congresses, and courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it —" Abraham Lincoln

The March for the Second Amendment

 The march was a great time. The weather was perfect and the crowd, though small, was great too. And Rachel Maddow (rabid madcow) would have been disapointed. No one at the march was there to "honor" McVeigh. He was nothing but a terrorist punk. If I could have put the needle in his arm I would have. BTTF's characterization Of people that believe in the Constitution just show what a narrow mind he has. Just because we own guns doesn't mean we are out to kill someone.

We did have a great time. The speakers did a great job. Brenna Findley, candidate for Iowa Attorney General Gave a great speech on the Constitution and the duty of the AG to support and defend it. Just to listen to her speak about the things our present AG didn't support convinces you of the need for change. We had a great talk when we were away from the mic. She's a sharp young lady and I believe she would make a great AG. She's got my support.

Another speaker was Dave Funk. He is a candidate for Leonard Boswells seat in the 3rd district. A air force veteran and a commercial pilot, Dave is a firm believer in the Constitution. He believes that our representatives should be accountable to the people that elected them.

One big surprise was Rod Roberts,  Candidate for Governor. It didn't take long listening to him to make me a believer. In my opinion, he's got Brandstad beat and I think Van Derplats is a whack job. Mr. Roberts believes in as small a government as possible. Something that sounds good to a lot of people.

Kim Pearson is a candidate for the Iowa house in district 42. She is a firm believer in smaller government and following the Constitution. She is definitely a supporter of the Second Amendment. She told me before the march that she was going to attend. Asking her to speak really made her day. She wants to get her message out and it's a great message.
