The usual translation is "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." It's a Mao Zedong quote.

Thank you, now that I hear it, yeah. I forgot it was a translation that I was remembering, and thus more easily misremembering.

Edit: Though I think the first version I read was "stem" rather than "barrel". That was probably just the translator being...flowery...though.
