Cerberus sells Bushmaster....

[beenjammin]

Anyone want to buy Bushmaster? I really do not understand this move.. Like it was Bushmasters fault for the tragedy.

Looks like the ACR might go up in value?

What the fuck is wrong with people? Nothing says "We Surrender." more than shit like this. It's like admitting false guilt for something you had no control over.

I always felt there was something fishy about firearms freedom group.

Re: Cerberus sells Bushmaster....

That article says Freedom Group is for sale, not just Bushmaster.

Freedom Group is a whole lot bigger than just Bushmaster. Remington, DPMS, AAC, Marlin, Para, and Barnes bullets just to name a few.

Lets take up a collection here on the Hide and buy it. Then we can have all the guns we want and fuck them all.

Weren't Freedom Group's profits up like 700% since Obama was elected?

California teachers retirement fund is/was heavily invested in Cerberus, that and the fund manger's father resides in New Town; Easy to why this occured.

A California teachers pension fund is among the investors in Cerberus it seems.

Ironic. Guns are bad! (unless we're making a profit).

Re: Cerberus sells Bushmaster....

ROFL! People are now trying to sue the Freedom group over the school shootings. Good luck with that! Cerberus owned Freedom Group before, during, and immediately after the incident and therefore has any, heh heh heh, cough cough, liability.
Ignorance at it again!

I'm in, Maggot. That's why I've got a rainy day fund.

Sad but interesting. FG has been suffering QC issues for a while, this might be there chance to get out, on a good note..

Maybe George Soros CAN actually own Freedom group now!

Re: Cerberus sells Bushmaster....

I think this move was coming before the shooting, as the three-headed dog has been making statements about moving out of industrial products and more into financial products for over a year.

Hopefully, the new owners gives the products the attention and respect that are deserved.

Nothing says sue me like that knee jerk reaction.

Re: Cerberus sells Bushmaster....

I'm pretty sure that firearm manufacturers are exempt from liability resulting from use of their products, per a law passed in 2005.

Re: Cerberus sells Bushmaster....

It'll probably never happen, but I'd love for Ron Coburn to purchase Remington away from Cerberus/Freedom Group.

He helped bring Savage "back", and I'm certain he could fix Remington's issues too.

Re: Cerberus sells Bushmaster....

May also be just PR. They haven't sold it they just say they are going to.

When did AAC belong to Cerberus? Jesus i didn't know that. Ultimately this drivel the Liberals/media are going to get passed is going to do nothing but put people out of business and in less of stance to defend themselves.

That's what i was thinking. not exactly the brightest financial move, at least in the short term...

ACC was bought a few years ago (2009) by Freedom Group.
