Who is buying FIREARM companies????

SOMETHING YOU MAY NOT KNOW THAT IS HAPPENING

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 men 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 . If there's any time to say, "Oh, ****!!!" the time is now.
November's coming but maybe not soon enough.

Make sure you have yours that you want.

This has been circulating through cyberspace for some time. Let's set the record straight.

Cerberus Capital Management, of which The Freedom Group is part, is NOT owned by or connected to George Soros. Cerberus Capital Management is a private equity firm founded in 1992 by Stephen Feinberg and William Richter. Mr. Feinberg is an avid hunter and gun enthusiast. John Snow, President George Bush's former Treasury Secretary, is Chairman of Cerberus.

Also, The National Rifle Association says the real owners are strong supporters of gun rights.

Do you believe every thing you read on the internet?

Not true according to Snopes.com,Politfact.com, and the NRA.

I have found that people are creatures of habit and for the most part everyone believes what they read or hear on tv. Sometimes a lot of this stuff is blown out of context and until you investigate the facts some of it is quite disturbing. Makes you worry needlessly sometimes.
