If libs bought the gun companies what the hell can be done

Ha, this is the last thing I would fear. the soros' of the world may have nefarious intentions, but no one, conservative or liberal, likes to lose money. Why would they collectively waste hundreds of millions to buy a conglomerate and then intentionally sink it into the ground? If they are going to assume a huge asset, they will want it to succeed and profit. They can't do that by manufacturing and selling things nobody wants.

 

This is just some dumb idealist opinion columnist blowing some steam on his utopia.

I believe this will prove to be just another tread what Nickjc would so succinctly described as "excrement de Toro"?

Are you kidding. This would be the best thing EVER. Buy em up. Spend your rmillions. Burn em to the ground. This would be so amazingly good for the manufacturing industry its not even funny. You see, what they can never buy is the knowledge in my head to make things! Same for everyone else. So buy the company and give me all the capital I need to do it again with the latest greatest machinery!!! And they have spent all their money and accomplished nothing but spending all their rescources and spawning a bunch of brand new manufacturing companies. Think Windham Weaponry.

Duppie why haven't you hid me yet?

 

 

It has been reported that Cerberus is dropping freedom group. That is a group of investors of pensions and what not.

Awe you don't like my post. Then keep walking

I agree with Shane, let it happen. All the know-how will then leave and go to open new companies that will make new and better stuff, without the competition from the "big guys".

+1 <-----This. While I do believe this is just someone speaking out their ______ and don't believe it will happen I'm agreeing with Shane. Also the writer mentioned Angelina Jolie, I thought she and Brad were very pro-gun??

Yeah I read before Angelina built brad a shooting range.

Yeah I read before Angelina built brad a shooting range.

That's what I thought. I remember watching an interview where she said shooting is one of their favorite hobbies especially trying out new guns.

Well they were mr and mrs smith

What if "WE THE PEOPLE" pooled some $ and instead of buying a new gun, bought a gun company? Let cerberus sell it to an investment group of gun owners!

Why so serious? Let people have their say, if you have something intelligent to add go ahead, otherwise save the attitude for work.

What people can give me shit but when I call them out it gets deleted? That's bull shit. People wanna dish it out then they gotta be ready for the retaliation

Shawn, you are supposedly a moderator on some obscure site some where in the bowels of the internet,so you of all posters can't take a hint even when it's practically spelled out for you? You're not wanted here Skippy. You insist that you have so many members that keep agreeing with you and your outrageous posts...where are they? how come they don't do the kindest of deeds and tell you you should have stayed gone. Stay gone Shawn....it's getting sad now. Good luck.

So you're worried about idiots buying companies they will have no idea how to run....if they want to waste their money who cares??? other companies can and WILL pick up the slack..or the Employees will just say "Screw It" and open their own place, like what happened in Maine with Windham.

I'd hate to see a company with a history's like Remington go away. All in all the gun industry is one of the only industries that still is heavily centered in America. When companies fail jobs disappear. These bans will have the same result though. How many ar companies will stick around with out private sales? It will cost thousands of jobs.

People were getting nervous when the Freedom Group was gobbling up companies. Now i fear that Soros will look to purchase the Freedom Group. Watch that guy...hes dangerous.

As long as greed out weighs agenda it'll be fine.

A) Let them buy them, but thats not going to happen because they are trying to sell them. The teachers unions or whoever was invested in Cerberus COULD have already taken control of it, now they actually want to sell it.

 

B) Who friking cares if they die? The quality of out Remington isn't great now days both on the firearm side and the ammo side. The only product of their I spend any money on today is shotgun shells. The rest of it? Bushmasters, Tapco, DPMS? I couldn't care less if they died in a fire. Maybe I'd be worried about AAC a bit as they seem to be good guys and I'd maybe miss Marlin but in that detached way as I don't own or plan to own any of their gear.

 

C) Quit making a big deal out of every little thing. If you give a crap, then go do something about it instead of whining on the internet about news we've all seen 2 weeks ago. This is isn't address directly to the OP, but for some twisted reason we have to have a 5 threads about the same damn thing, days apart because no everyone thinks they have discovered sex and can't be bothered to look through the forum to see if anyone might have been bumping uglies before them. 90% of the time your news has already been reported by someone earlier.

Keep on it, Shawn. It's not fear baiting, it's keeping abreast of every possibility, as in today's political climate, NOTHING would surprise me. Not anymore. I'm not worried about Soros buying Freedom Group, but if that was announced, it wouldn't surprise me. Buy a company and let it die? Why not? Soros certainly has that kind of money if he so chose.

 

Anyway, thanks for the heads up. And keep it up, despite the gremlins here. And put your tin foil hat back on

A very deserved +1

I haven't been on this forum in months due to several issues including losing my old computer to Sandy. I finally get back on and almost the first thing I read is an unwarranted personal attack against me and others. What am I supposed to think?

 

I don't live off of any confrontation, as I have friends in several shooting disciplines that I enjoy spending time with. I have almost 45 years of shooting experiences to write about. Most others will at least put-up with my time-tested "old fudd" opinions and take them with a grain of salt. I'm NOT the best at any one shooting discipline since I like to shoot so many.....but I've shot with others who ARE and some of them are good friends. The advice I offer (when asked) is often well taken and results in a Shooter's further enjoyment of our great sport.

 

I make it a habit to talk to folks with respect and I expect the same from them. I say nothing on line that I don't say to their face(s) as I consider myself to be a "straight shooter", as several on this forum will convey. Several months ago I offered to provide the youth of your club a real nice shooting experience along with free qualified personal instruction in the Dark Arts of primitive-style Black Powder. After being strung-along for several months with a promise to get back to me in regards to this, I was left hanging. BAD FORM.

 

If you want to see me in person I'll supply you my shooting schedule. Come on up and shoot with us. You pick the discipline. I'll buy the coffee. Let's END this BS.........
