No- not the typical member - but most if not all the union leaders.
It's scary how they are all connected/managed.

Yes. Since their union dues go to anti-gun causes and politicians, I do believe they are anti-gun.

I don't give a shit what they SAY they believe in, it's what they DO.

Agreed, this is a VERY BAD problem. What makes this even more of a problem is that a few states allow unions to require membership if employed by a company their workers are in, so people in many situations have the non-choice of union membership or unemployment. In NY the unions have such political chokehold they're able to make laws that effectively kill off non-unionized businesses.

When we visited there I was shocked to see how little industry, and development there was. It did not seem like a business friendly state at all.

Marlin & NEF will probably be safe for a while.

Cerberus doesn't have a track record for any respect for brand loyalty, being American-made, quality, etc. They are all about how much money can they make and how quick can they make it.

Is there a link to info on all of the brands this parent company owns?

Search "Cerberus Capital Management" for the list of pies the three headed dog has its paws in...

===================================

Man! I just saw how Cerberus is jacking with Marlin, so much for them being safe but before long they will all be under one roof or sold off or parted out before Cerberus is finished with them.

For Cerberus' gun companies look for Freedom Group. Look at the bottom of the main page.

the bushmaster rep for my store said that the factory was just moving and BM would stay in tact as far as producing rifles and parts. he did mention that remington as a parent company might re brand some guns in order to make money but they would essentially be BM with a Rem logo.
