Guess Who's Buying Gun Companies?
I checked this out and it's true. Marlin Firearms is already closing it's doors! They are doing it to us America !


Even if you do not own a gun you need to know this. This needs to be spread to all gun owners and sportsman. We cannot rely on the media to inform us of these type of matters.


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 .

We chose not to respond to the accusations directly. Both F&S and NRA put out information regarding this rumor:

Snopes has something to say about this.

Snopes for some reason has become some kind of defacto authority of all things on the net when in fact it is made up of a left leaning husband and wife team. Not to say they are not right a lot and are not helpful, but consider the source. It is like trusting the SPLC when they train law enforcement agencies on hate groups. (most of us would qualify)
