Does George Soros have anything to do with Ceberus Capitial Managment?

[fireman 9731]

So I got this in an email.... and of course I'm skeptical of what I get in emails... But this is what it said:

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 restrict your access to 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 uses deception and manipulation to eliminate your unalienable 2nd Amendment Right.

Please pass this on to all your freedom loving friends. This needs to come out.

Why have we not heard about this in the "lame-tream" media?

Now I'm not trying to get the conspiracy theories rolling, or people panicking, but it does concern me that someone as liberal and anti-gun as George Soros could control the coffers of America's gun companies...

Here's a hint, if something comes into your EMail inbox unbidden, it is generally nonsense.
Now tell whoever sent it to you that they should really source the material if they forward junk to everyone in their address book.

Total BS. Steve Feinberg, the founder of Cerberus and George Kollitides, the MD at Cerberus responsible for the gun investments are total gun nuts. A friend of a friend is an ex-Cerberus MD and his gun collection would make a seasoned THR'er blush.

Someone wise once told me, never buy a "sexy business", motorcycle companies, wineries, horse stables, private aircraft leasing, they are terrible investments. Add buying up half the gun industry to that list

It's just your typical right wing chain email lie. They never stop.

Not (really)gun related.

You can tell they aren't trust worthy.

Anyone with real information to impart in a business-like manner wouldn't stoop to Idiot jingoism like "lame stream" (or any of the other rainbow of words used by people on both sides, who can't support their position with a stream of ACTUAL facts, instead of overhyped emotionalism)

We all have opinions. Opinions don't inform, they just bias.

Soros is the middle head of the three-headed Cerberus hound from hell. The first head is the Queen of England, and the third was Zeppo Marx, the true brains behind the infamous Marx Bros.: Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Karl.

He's also DB Cooper!

Can't be. I'm DB Cooper. I know because I got it in an email from a Nigerian prince wanting me to hold a million dollars for him.

Always good to check around when you get stuff like this.

If you get something in your email inbox, and a quick Google search reveals that they're talking about it at InfoWars or on David Icke's website, you can pretty much guarantee that it's not true.
