She is a loose cannon who should stop shooting off her mouth.

You're describing her like she's a potential GOP prez candidate

If all of your cannons are tied-up and restrained, how do you defend yourself?

Back when the phrase came about, all of the canons had to be tied up and restrained. Recoil would send them rolling back from the gunports, and the gun crew would reload, then winch them forward into position and lash them down again for the next shot. A loose cannon had the potential to roll out of place while firing, careen about the gun deck, crush the gun crew, and generally snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
