MY. GOD. Cerberus MUST BE STOPPED!!! I'm terrified of these bastards! What the hell are they buying everyone for? I understand the profitability of firearms is enticing to a major investment conglomerate, but I smell a rat. All we need is for Cerberus to pull a Tomkins and a major percentage of the firearms on the market will suddenly have round counters, RFIDs, and "Smart-Gun" technologies incorporated into them. With the stroke of a pen, it all goes away. I'm tempted to boycott companies owned by Cerberus so that it stops being profitable for them to buy every single firearms company that's so much as considering selling. Except Knight Rifles, I may note. They didn't buy them, I wonder why? They didn't buy Winchester, either. Maybe they didn't think they could be profitable? They probably could have gotten these companies at a significant discount. OH. MY. GOD.

That said, I hope Dakota made a good penny from the buy-out. I hate to see any smaller company get “gobbled-up” by a major corporation. That said, I hope Dakota made a good penny from the buy-out.

Just asking.
