And this is why I found it alarming when Cerebus started purchasing all of these manufactures. Too easy for one entity to suddenly "Get Moral". The firearms industry in this country has been exclusively family owned and a "Cottage" industry.

My thinking also

Lets not forget that ol Georgie Soros is a major player in Cerebus as well.

No, he is not. Never has been either.

Cerebus is run by a bunch of conservative business men (including Dan Quayle among others) ... yes they will try to unload the gun companies if they think they will no longer be profitable, but there is no conspiracy here and George Soros has zero to do with it.

That's why them divesting themselves is probably a good thing. I'd prefer much wider ownership over assets like this than a few big players.
