I heard George Soros (not sure if I spelled name right) is buying up gun manufacturers and ammo manufacturers and shutting them down. Anyone else hear anything like this. I am hoping it is just a bad rumor. ---

Well, if he wanted to spend a lot of money he should have invested into horses, saddles, gear, and even race horses. ---

We’re spreading rumors now? Even is he or anyone does try and buy up ammo and gun manufacturers, who cares? Let’s think rationally on this. Someone buys Ruger or Vista Outdoors and closes them. I’ll make a fortune on the stocks. I can then use the money to open my own factory and let him buy me out too. Then someone else will open up a factory and he’ll buy them too. Then someone else and so on till he runs out of money. Our brains are amazing when we use them. 😉 ---

Erica, not spreading a rumor just trying to find out if anyone could shed some light on this. I only look for truth. When I don’t know something I ask questions. Sorry if you thought otherwise. ---

Welcome to the Community @Phillip24. I haven’t heard that but him trying to do so would not surprise me. As others have said, let’s hope this is just another rumor. ✌🏾 ---
