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

Advocates for divesting from the firearms industry got a boost from Wall Street titan George Soros last week.

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.

Soros dumps his stocks - the price goes down - then I'll BUY!

Go ahead Soros, dump your gun stocks.

The 2nd Amendment makes gun ownership an inalienable right and guarantees armed and formidable populace.

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.

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.

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.
