UN treaty to be excuse for more gun control by Obama administration

[Niner19]

It is a quote from George Orwell, usually given as: "Gentlemen sleep peacefully in their beds each night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."

It is not from one of his books, he used to lecture on liberty and I think that is its source. Some people have a great tendency to denigrate Law Enforcement and the Military until they are needed. Orwell was reminding us that we need them at all times.

Thanks OldRoger.... I already found the quote useful in discussion with a liberal friend. He was questioning the legality and ethics of the CIA killing known terrorists without a trial. He did not have a good comeback. I think it made him think.... which we all know is a big step in the right direction for a liberal.

I wholeheartedly agree with shutting down the U.N. in this country, and stop supporting them with U.S. dollars. Let the U.N. building become the new World Trade Center. We pay for the priviledge of letting other poor countries degrade us, publically, as an equal in this organization. They should relocate in France......where they know the value of meaningless talk!!!!! Bob

I've never seen that UN troops were effective anywhere they were deployed. Cannot see a bunch of blue hatted doofus's disarming American citizens. That dog wont hunt!
