Now Among Largest Firearms Investors, Soros in Gun Control Scheme to Dump Stocks

Do you see the puppet strings?

The plot to disarm Americans and suspend the 2nd Amendment is working with furious pace. But it is anything but head on.

The 2nd Amendment makes gun ownership an inalienable right and guarantees armed and formidable populace. The NRA and other lobbies have gun rights firmly entrenched in the Republican party.

So the other side works the back door. Infiltration, sabotage and other dirty tricks.

Is that what is happening?

By all appearances, Soros, the elite wolf in sheep's clothing has been investing in firearms companies not to profit from them, but to destroy them, and destroy the access of people to guns and ammunition.

Via the International Business Times:

Advocates for divesting from the firearms industry got a boost from Wall Street titan George Soros last week. The billionaire investor is in a strong position to make such a call: He's one of the leading financiers of the gun control movement, and the fund he leads recently owned a piece of the firearms industry.

On Thursday, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Soros expressed interest in the divestment idea. Asked by International Business Times if investors who support gun control should sell their holdings in firearms companies, Soros responded: "I'm very much against guns. And if it can be organized on a large enough scale, I wouldn't be opposed to it."

Securities and Exchange Commission filings reviewed by IBT show Soros Fund Management as a top institutional shareholder in Vista Outdoors - considered the country's top ammunition manufacturer - and Olin Corp., which makes ammo under the Winchester name.

Many of the biggest Wall Street donors to President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton - who have both called for stricter gun regulations - are among

Soros: Just making money and destroying America's freedoms, one Amendment at a time, but concentrating on the 2nd, at the moment.

Soros had no problem with guns when he did the bidding of the SS!

Good, we'll buy every share that is dumped. The share price won't stay down for very long, given today's environment.

Many people began stocking up in this early 90s with the advent of the Clintons when bulk ammunition prices and most sport utility rifle prices were at rock bottom.

Nope. Sorry. The Right to Keep and Bear Arms in Self defense is an unalienable Right because it comes from our Creator. No human court has the authority to take that right away from those who do not abuse it.

The Second Amendment merely codifies restrictions on the Federal Government to not infringe upon that already existing Right.

People want to buy guns.

Guns are relatively easy to manufacture.

If Soros buys up all of the gun manufacturers and shutters them, it will only be a matter of time before other companies are founded and guns are manufactured again.

How does Soros dumping gun stocks hurt the supply of guns?

It seems top me that pushing gun control increases demand for guns and increases stock prices. Demand for the product is not related to the price of the stock.

Just like the stock price of oil companies and the demand for gasoline. Is anyone going to drive even one less mile if the price of Exxon goes down?

If we elect a strong 2nd Amendment supporter, the panic buying will stop. Soros may be trying to have and eat his cake at the same time. The devious old fart suspects that he won’t have an Obama to pump his stocks in the White house come 2017.

Bzzzzt.

Thanks for playing, but wrong answer.

The Second amendment restrains the government from violating a pre-existing natural right.

He’s not stupid. He’s not against guns per se, he’s against YOU having guns.

I read he is getting ready to attack the Russian monetary system. I wish Putin would give that old fart a pill of polonium or maybe the Soro jet would have a catastrophic engine failure.

For every seller, there's a buyer. And a company with profits such as the firearms industry has been generating of late can always purchase its own stock back. And thank the fool who bought high.

I doubt Soros is that stupid, myself.

If he dumps his Vista Outdoors shares, they’ll get snapped up in a heartbeat. (Less than a heartbeat when you consider how quickly exchange computers can process orders!) He’ll only succeed at reducing his own income and that of his investors.

It’s is generally agreed that Baraq Obama is the top gun salesman in US history.

Subtle attack.

We must be paranoid to survive these attacks, but ... are we paranoid enough?

If you are Soros and accept that getting rid of guns will have a large cost, what would stop you from getting controlling interest in an ammunition manufacturer and then slowing/stopping production?

It would seem to be an easy way for someone to make their bones on his reportedly obvious attempt to crash a stock. It is illegal to do this I am assuming. If he wants to totally divest himself of his position, let some govt agency take control of his shares and sell them slowly so as not to upset a company traded on the Dow Jones.
