PE is all in on automatic and semi-automatic gun manufacturing.

Given Ct's leftwing politics, that is an interesting dynamic.

Colt of course is the originator of the AR-15, and Strum Ruger corp is Ct based.

Is Cerebrus one of those many financial firms based in Greenwich? Or are they based somewhere else in CT, particularly near Sandy Hook? Otherwise, I'm not sure of the point here.....

OK but you are connecting it to CT. I understand the link to guns and all, but since you are saying "despite CT's left wing politics", how is that a connection unless they are in CT? For this, I don't see them being in NYC as being much different as being based in say Montana (although I will admit per your point being in NYC is pretty ironic too).

Not sure what your point is? It is well known and documented PE (Freedom Group) involvement in the firearm manufacturing business. As is the reported quality issues by enthusiasts and the resulting financial troubles of the various entities under Freedom Group. Also, Colt is not the originator of the AR-15. Colt bought the rights from Armalite.

We accept their economic impact, but work against their revenue base.

Actually.. many democratic politicians have openly said things along the lines of "we don't want your money".

I do not think the take away of the article is that PE is "all in" on gun manufacturing.
