----- Original Message ----- From: Beowulf New post on Fellowship of the Minds Is Soros Buying Up Guns in the U.S.? by Dr. Eowyn
There's an alarming e-mail circulating which claims: 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. [Source: http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/...arnes-bullets/] That e-mail is not true. The following is from the National Rifle Association website: Internet Rumors About Cerberus, Freedom Group Are Patently False Friday, October 14, 2011 Recently, an old rumor regarding Cerberus--the private equity firm that owns Freedom group, a holding company that in turn owns a number of firearms manufacturers, including Remington, Marlin, Bushmaster, and DPMS--was in some way tied to George Soros. This rumor is completely false and baseless. NRA has had contact with officials from Cerberus and Freedom Group for some time. The owners and investors involved are strong supporters of the Second Amendment and are avid hunters and shooters. In reality, at no time has George Soros ever been a part of the ownership group of Freedom Group or Cerberus, and as a privately traded corporation, there is no possibility that he will be in the future. This unsubstantiated rumor has caused a great deal of unnecessary concern for gun owners. NRA-ILA urges our members to take great care before repeating baseless rumors found on the Internet. ~Eowyn Dr. Eowyn| November 1, 2011 at 4:00 am | Tags: ammunition, Cerberus Capital Management, Freedom Group, George Soros, Internet rumors, National Rifle Association | Categories: Constitution, Second Amendment, United States | URL: http://wp.me/pKuKY-akh Comment See all comments Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.
