I don't either, that's why we have anti-trust laws, but Bushmaster, Remington (Marlin) is probably a ways off from a firearms monopoly. It's good someone is investing in the industry.
This is all good.
Good to maintain multiple companies that might otherwise struggle under Obamanism, good that Freedom Group will find cost synergies that will help hold prices down, and good for America that they are investing during a horrible economic period. This is how capitalism works, folks.
A part of every acquisition is Dept. of Justice signoff that it doesn’t violate anti-trust laws. That’s big gummint at work “for us”.
Don’t like it? Go start your own gun or ammo company. It’s still (mostly) a free country. But don’t bitch when capitalism does what it’s supposed to do, at least not around here.
