IMHO I don’t like all guns and ammo sold by one corporation.

I don't either, that's why we have anti-trust laws, but Bushmaster, Remington (Marlin) is probably a ways off from a firearms monopoly. It's good someone is investing in the industry.

The local gun store I do business with has had visits from Freedom Group brass, and they love the company. All gun manufacturing is done by small companies, and Freedom Group keeps some of the most respected ones going. Partly because these companies can now share technology, and pool resources.

Don't worry about some CEO deciding to stop all firearms production as the price of admission to elite cocktail parties. As The One has shown, he can seize any corporation he wants, and distribute it to his friends. If it works for some giant like Chrysler or Government Motors, it would be even easier for some "struggling" small business like Remington or Colt.
