    Default Who's buying gun companies?

    I got this in an email from a friend, but i haven't had time to verify...has anyone heard/seen anything about this? This is a little unsettling...here it is:

    Who is buying companies, manufacturing guns ?????

    For the last several years a company called The Freedom Group has been buying up gun and ammunition manufacturers. Some of the companies are Bushmaster, Marlin, Remington, DPMS, Dakota Arms and H&R. Some people worry that this Freedom Group is going to control most of the firearms companies in the United States . If you control the manufacturers you can decide to stop selling to civilians. What a perfect way to control guns.

    Now if you do some digging you will see that The Freedom Group is owned by a company called Cerberus Capital Management.

    Guess who controls Cerberus??? GEORGE SOROS !!!!!!!!! One of the
    Most evil man on this planet who wants to restrict or ban all civilian guns. Please pass this on to all your freedom loving friends. This needs to come out. Why have we not heard about this in the "mainstream" media? I would think this would be BIG news. (Soros also owns Progressive Insurance)

    If you don't know who George Soros is, you need to do some
    Research. He backed Obama with millions of dollars and
    Obama is a puppet on a string controlled by Soros .

    Send this to every gun owner in America .


    Comments/thoughts? Thanks!

    Check this link:

    snopes.com: George Soros - Freedom Group

    Snopes disproves the above email. There is no connection between Cerberus Capital Management and George Soros.

    Ok so Factcheck.org also verifies this is inaccurate as well as NRA.ORG. First I had seen on this topic so I had to check it out myself. Thanks.

    Trusting Snoops is like trusting Obama!

    But I do understand NRA has said this claim is false.

    Are snoops and obama really in the same league?? If so Why? Even if snoops is wrong 50% of the time its a better record than Obama.

    But lets get back to the basic idea - could the owners (or enough of the owners to control who gets on the board) of a firearms manufacturer disarm America?

    I'm sure they could...Enough money and they could change the company!
