here it is - DO NOT BELIEVE IT - it is FALSE [see response after]

"........

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 .

just so we are all clear on this the info came from my contact at remington ,

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

I always have to laugh at people who, when asked why they believe some BS to be true, reply with "I saw it on the internet!".... I just stand back and shake my head.

I always like the way that "buttweb.com" quotes a source from "fruitbat.com" who says they saw it on "panicewb. org" who in tern confirm the post by quoting "buttweb.com"!

i was only reacting to something a friend sent me - asked if a common friend [one inside freedom group] could cast a real view on , it was a quick response ,
 
i already knew the answer but needed the bonefied reaction to give a good answer - not a stupid response of "i read on the internet ...."
 
this came from a person i trust , but snopes gives the same response , i just do not always believe them as i think they are a liberal group - i do have to say they generally get it right tho ...
 
this is not a new story , but in the timing of politics it could be influencial , we do not need four more years - no matter what , and truth cancels out the political BS ,
maybe one day the political crap will have to be all true - but ill not live to see it
