King Dork will have this country under UN control shortly after the election. Gun ownership as we know it will come to an end.

The Freedom Group has bought up a number of firearm-related companies in recent years, making them one of the world's largest manufacturers of firearms and ammunition. Cerberus Capital Management (as of 2009) holds a 94.3% stake in Freedom Group's shares. However, there is no connection between Cerberus Capital Management and financier George Soros: Cerberus is a privately traded company which was established in 1992 by Stephen A. Feinberg, and the company's list of senior executives does not include George Soros in any capacity (but does include such conservative notables as former Republican Vice-President Dan Quayle and President George W. Bush's former Treasury Secretary John W. Snow).

As the National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) notes of this rumor on their web site:

"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."


A 2012 variant of this message focused on Marlin Firearms:

"Disarming America.

Marlin Firearms bought out by Soros

Marlin Firearms is already closing its doors! They are doing it to us, America! Even if you do not own a gun you need toknow this. This needs to be spread to all gun owners and sportsman. We cannot rely on the media to inform us of these types of matters."


In 2011, Marlin Firearms ended 141 years of manufacturing in Connecticut by closing down its North Haven facility. However, Marlin was acquired in 2008 by Remington Arms Co. Inc., a subsidiary of Freedom Group, which as noted above has no connection to George Soros.

I'm gonna tell you a little secret, "Marlins been going out of business a long time"....

But still, it's a valid point
