MARLIN FIREARMS CLOSING ITS DOORS

Marlin Firearms bought and CLOSED by George Soros. Even if you don't own a gun - this will affect you.

MARLIN FIREARMS IS CLOSING ITS DOOR

This was checked on "Truth or Fiction" who verified it. They can be trusted more than Snopes. Marlin Firearms is already closing its doors. They are doing it to us, America. All gun owners and sportsmen need to see this. We cannot rely on the media to inform us of these happenings. Something you may not know is happening. Who is buying the 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 The 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. 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, Obama's chief financier. He wants to restrict or ban all civilian guns. Pass this on to your freedom loving friends. This needs to come out. Why have we not heard about this in the "mainstream" media? I think this would be BIG news.

(Soros also owns Progressive Insurance - Flo). If you don't know who George Soros is, do some research. This One-World Government atheist backed Obama with millions of dollars, and Obama is a puppet on a string controlled by Soros.

Interesting. Thankfully, he will croak, probably sooner than later, and we can theorize about his place in eternity. Hopefully, individuals with the guts and intuition similar to Trump's can undo some of what he's done. It's hard to stay positive but we've witnessed miracles.

We have indeed.
I have heard Soros' sons are worse than he is. Could that be possible?

This wasn't true when it first started showing up on the internet several years ago and it still isn't true today. No doubt that Soros is a leftist commie, but he does enough stuff that is well-documented that we don't need to repeat baseless old rumors that just aren't true.

The Freedom Group is definitely pro-gun. Marlin has changed hands and is now being produced by Remington, but they are still in business. If Marlin goes out of business, it will be because of a lack of quality control now as compared to the originals, but it won't have anything to do with everyone's favorite leftist boogeyman.

Here's the NRA statement on it from way back in 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.

Appears he did invest in ammunition.

Securities and Exchange Commission filings reviewed by IBT show Soros Fund Management as a top institutional shareholder in Vista Outdoors — considered the country’s top ammunition manufacturer — and Olin Corp., which makes ammo under the Winchester name. Soros Fund Management purchased a stake in Vista in early 2015 and possessed $11.4 million worth of shares in the company at the end of September, the most recent time the firm reported its holdings. Soros’ firm appears to have bought $5.2 million worth of Olin shares between July and September.

He is not alone among Democratic Party supporters in investing in the firearms industry. Many of the biggest Wall Street donors to President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton — who have both called for stricter gun regulations — are among the largest institutional investors in guns and ammunition manufacturers. While the American Federation of Teachers, a key part of the Democratic electoral coalition, has backed gun control proposals, some of the pension savings of its members may be invested in the firearms industry. For example, the California State Teachers' Retirement System — which has divested from assault weapons manufacturers — owned $7 million worth of shares in Vista and Olin as of September.
