Yup. Just like when AT&T broke up and then over the years rebuilt itself back up..all with FCC approval.

Do y'all just believe anything that's posted without question? :roll eyes:

This is old "news." It was a total lie when it first appeared and it still IS a lie. Hell, even the NRA says so!

snopes.com: George Soros - Freedom Group

Geez, people...don't be so gullible.

The National Association for Gun Rights:

Soros is working with the National League of Cities to push big city gun control in small towns all over the country.

While the gun rights battle has been raging in Washington, D.C. George Soros has been quietly investing billions (yes, that’s with a “b”) in taking power on the state and local levels.
The National League of Cities’ stated goals include:

*** Registration for all handguns;

*** Banning semi-automatic firearms;

*** Cracking down on gun shows;

*** A thirty-day waiting period on all gun purchases;

*** Ending the manufacture of 10-round magazines;

*** Gun bans in parks and libraries and other public places.

Just within the last month, a parade of taxpayer funded Municipal stooges showed up to support city-level gun bans in New Hampshire.

I am not thrilled about this. Soros can control who gets guns and who doesn't.

George Soros buying up arms manufacturers | Peace . Gold . Liberty | Ron Paul 2012 (http://www.dailypaul.com/207989/george-soro-buying-up-arms-manufacturers - broken link)
Hahahaha, so some Ron Paul loving moron writes a conspiracy and you accept it at face value. Arms are a massive global industry that no one guy controls.

Seriously, most people on here who worry about George Soros would have a much better life if they spent that time worrying about themselves.
