All About Pocket Knives

Here is the text of an email I just received. Anybody have any insight on this?

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.
What better way to control a country, just disarm them.

Is this true?

I still have my gun and a few boxes of amo.....and my dancin' shoes

Well if this George Soros and his companies do get all the firearm manufacturers in the U.S.A., there are still Browning, Winchester, Glock, Taurus, Rossi, Beretta and many other firearms makers from outside the U.S.A. that I'm sure will be glad to take over the sales that people would have bought from U.S.A. companies. There's already been enough firearms sold in the past that even by buying and closing all the U.S.A. firearms makers, they couldn't disarm all the citizens in the U.S.A. if they tried. There was a poll I read somewhere once, maybe in a NRA or another gun magazine that said by average there are something like 5 firearms for each household if they were divided for each and every home in the U.S.A. Take the Remington model 870 for example. There have been over 10 million + of just that model alone sold here in the U.S.A. Firearms, ammo, and high capacity magazine sales sky rocketed before Obama was sworn in when he was elected. It was hard to find ammo of almost any caliber, even at the Super Wal-Marts they couldn't keep ammo on the shelves. Mostly in anticipation that Obama was going to pull a Bill Clinton or maybe worse on the people of the U.S.A. They may buy up all the U.S.A. firearm manufacturers and stop production on them but there are already too many firearms in the hands of U.S. citizens to think they are going to stop the people from owning firearms or taking their firearms and their right to own them away.

Hopefully this is just a hoax.
If you trust snopes.com, here's what they say about it.

I don't think I can trust Snoopes on this one. Isn't there another verification site out there? One without a liberal bias.

Snopes is loaded with left turned BS.

I wouldn't trust Snopes if they said the sun was shining at noon.
I would look out a window and check for myself!

I first saw this story 4 or 5 months ago. I spent a few hours surfing the web looking for the connection between Soros and Cerberus Group.

Everything up the ladder to the Cerberus Group is pretty easy to verify, or at least it was when I checked it. Some of the links may have been scrubbed by now. It was easy to connect the chain of ownership up to the Freedom Group and then to verify their control by the Cerberus Group.

After that is got a bit dicey. The guy who heads up the Cerberus Group worked for Soros at one point, or headed up a project for him, I don’t recall exactly which. But that was as close as I could come to connecting Soros to Cerberus Group. As I recall one source said this guy who heads up the Cerberus Group, was mentored by Soros. But I could not find anything that said Soros actually controlled Cerberus Group, just that someone he mentored and who had worked for him was now in control of Cerberus Group.

I wish I could dig up the research but my computer crashed on March 13th or 14th & I lost a bunch of stuff, including the research I did on Cerberus Group.

You can do your own research and draw your own conclusion. I am pretty well convinced from the research I did that there is a connection, but probably nothing you will ever find on paper.
