GROUP BUY - FREEDOM GROUP

[glockman19]

It's time to put your money where you mouth is.

I Propose a group buy of FREEDOM Group of Companies. They are for sale. We could Buy and own:

REMINGTON
BUSHMASTER
REMINGTON MILITARY
REMINGTON LE
MARLIN FIREARMS
H&R 1871
DAKOTA ARMS
TAPCO
DPMS / Panther Arms
PARKER GUNMAKERS
BARNES BULLETS
ADVANCED ARMAMENT
PARA USA
REMINGTON PMPD
MOUNTAIN KHAKIS
REMINGTON 1816

THEN...We STOP ALL sales to California, LE, Military and any other Anti-Firearms groups.

When we control the manufacturing, Sales and Distribution of the above aforementioned companies the other side will have to accept our Rights.

Bad idea. Ever heard of capitalism? It's this cool idea where if somebody won't sell you what you want, you go across the street to his competitor and buy from him.

For the cheap seats, that means that if those companies stop selling to their biggest buyer (the govt), then the govt will go to somebody else not on that list, and the companies on that list will go out of business that much sooner.

Anyways, any of the companies on that list doing business with the govt will have contracts, and breaching those contracts is a Really Bad Idea. I'll let you figure out why.

Government isn't their biggest customer...WE the public are. not to mention International sales.

I'd rather be an owner manufacturer than a Renter buyer.

Interesting proposal, however, back in 2012 Freedom Group was looking to post revenue of $900 million so just for grins and giggles let say we can buy it for $1.8 Billion (2 times revenue).

There are just over 200,000 registered members of Calguns, not all are active. If we say 50,000 are active and all are willing to go in on this, each member will need to put up $36,000.

Nice thought exercise, but do not think it is really practical. Not sure how much the sellers want for the company nor how profitable is is/has been.

After all, how many would be willing to sell their ammo or defer buying additional ammo to try and by FG?

Done.

It's a done deal. Put me down for $250. And I want a corner office. Corner of the basement, corner out in front of the building, whatever.

Diane Feisntein must own half of those companies with "el presidente" since they do so much to get panic buying going on.
