Words versus deeds

Outside of the UN building is a sculpture of a revolver with the barrel tied in a knot. The mission of the UN is to take guns away from people. Members of the UN are also ad hoc groups known as non-governmental organizations that assist in the formulation of UN policy in their particular area of interest. One such NGO is the National Rifle Association.

When Vladimir Lenin was asked how the opposition was to be handled, he replied that the best way to control the opposition is to lead it. Such is the case of the NRA. Gun owners listen to speeches of Wayne LaPierre and think the NRA is really looking out for their gun rights, but should look at their words versus their deeds. The NRA never sees a gun control law they couldn’t compromise with. Sometimes they are totally out to lunch. A draconian gun law was recently passed in Washington State, and the NRA was nowhere to be found.

The NRA is carrying out the stated policy of the United States government. In September 1961 the State Department published document 7277 titled, Freedom From War, The United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World, which became PL 87-297, The Arms Control and Disarmament Act establishing a disarmament agency that continues on toward the goal of an all-powerful peace keeping force under the control of the elites that will have complete and total control over a helpless and defenseless population.
