Subject: WOW! This is scary!


For the last several years a company called "The Freedom Group" has been buying up American gun and ammunition manufacturers.

Some of these companies are:

Bushmaster,
Marlin,
Remington Arms,
DPMS,
Dakota Arms and
H&R.
DPMS Panther Arms
NEF
Dakota Arms
LC Smith
Parker
AAC
Barnes Bullets
EOTAC
INTC


Some people worry that Freedom Group is going to control most of the firearms companies in the United States . Of course, If you control the manufacturers you can decide not to sell to civilians, or, you can raise the prices to ridiculous levels or you can make the supply of guns and ammo scarce - all sorts of logjams.

What a perfect way to control America 's guns!

If you do some digging you will see that The Freedom Group is owned by a Wall Street investment company called "Cerberus Capital Management".

"Cerberus" in the epic book "The Inferno" by Dante Alighieri, is a three-headed demon hound (from Roman mythology) that guards the Gates of Hell to prevent those damned souls who have just crossed the river Styx, from escaping back to the world.

Investor GEORGE SOROS owns CERBERUS!

Please pass this on to all your freedom loving friends. This needs to come out - and quickly!
Why have we not heard about this in the "mainstream" media? I would think this would be BIG news.
The absence of big media coverage on this important subject should be BIG news to you, too!

I always take snopes with a grain of salt too, but for what it's worth:

----Cerberus was the company that owned "Chrysler" for a couple of days,,,right??? While I dont know if its right or wrong, with things the way they are its only good business to own arms manufacturing concerns. Makes perfect sense to me unless the Govt is a silent partner!!!!......Bill S

If snopes is right, you should be happy, no? I sure hope they are.

To me what is alarming is the name Freedom Group. When ever the word Freedom is used it implies Militia or movement, especially when you talk about arms. What better way to arm a militia, that has bad intent against our nation. If this were truly a wall street ownership plan for profit those gun manufactures would be liquidated in the USA, then the Gun's would be made in China, the well reputable company name would stay on the arm's. Wallah cheep Chinese gun's that you thought were of high quality because they had the name you trusted.

So in a time of need you'd get one shot of before it broke:wink:

A monopoly is a monopoly and if they get to big someone from the remaining companies will sue.
