Vista Outdoor sold

[Brians356]

Yea we have been treated so exceptionally well under our American overlord Jason Vanderbrink, he is just like our ruling elite "He knows what's best for us!" Out of all of the component shortages Vitavori has treated us very well. I think most of this is/has been greed, and I am not sure that a corporation from overseas is inherently any greedier than our local garden variety wall street criminals. And if congress is involved a dirty deal is mandatory.

How do you get out of bed in the morning to face such a world?

Happens on ebay too. One account bids up an item against you, you back out and let them win, then the seller offers you to buy it at your last/highest bid because their shill account obviously doesn't want to buy their own item.

How many items, round number, have you bought off Ebay?

I have 219 feedback entries as a buyer. It's a bad assumption that I have feedback for each transaction. So, I'd guess somewhere between 250 and 300 for buying.

Off your meds again today? The stuff that goes on in this world exists even if you refuse to believe it.

If this goes through, it could be nearing the final nail in the sporting sports coffin.

Only time will tell, It may be that they want to build the sport and not loot and pillage till there is nothing left in the name of a big profit this quarter.

Right?

"Hide in plain sight" seems to be working quite well.

Its not as though VISTA was our friend. Look at some of the investment groups with large amounts of interest in VISTA. They want out of anything gun related.

My friend works at Target, whose board is controlled by Black Rock/Vanguard.

They were the ones who brought in the transgender children's toys at Target (after they took over during COVID).

So.... no. Not pro 2nd Amendment. They are pro UN Agenda 2030 though.

Or close the whole operation and drop the machines in the ocean...

Could go either way.

Vista should be broken up. The very fact that they have a 75% monopoly on ammunition production in the USA is already a violation of the vary basic definition of antitrust law. Their monopoly is not only injurious to competition within the market, it is a national security issue.

Monopolization Defined

The antitrust laws prohibit conduct by a single firm that unreasonably restrains competition by creating or maintaining monopoly power.

Black Rock is exactly who I read has the most control of Vista.

After the Cerberus Capital Management / Remington et al. creative financial maneuvers, I am more suspicious of the high finance maneuvers. I am also concerned of the high percentage of ammunition manufacturing Vista controls.

With "The number one existential threat we face" (Current Occupant) literally roasting us alive, how can you let such trivialities keep you awake at night?

I wonder if people will remember these conversations if these companies completely withdraw their products from the retail market? And there are no longer any freaking primers at all for sale to the public. Or brass. Or powder. Because they are essentially 90 percent there now.

I wonder if they will remember... Or like so many other things, just say I am totally shocked and surprised.

This may or may not have a tie in to the vista buy out. But it is out there.

Czech PM bullish on ammo plan for Ukraine, envisions 1.5 million rounds in a year - Breaking Defense

“The purpose of our initiative is to find ammunition on the world markets, to negotiate the financing and to potentially negotiate deliveries to Ukraine,” said Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala.

With the massive explosion at the munitions factory in the UK this week, the situation with Vista gets murkier. Military analysts seem to now believe the Ukraine can't survive until December.

Now matter what, if you don't already reload or are stockpiling ammo, you need to be IMO.

I haven't yet read it was a massive explosion. A local politician, David Davies, said the incident took place “in a remote part of the site that had been set aside to take apart shells” and there were no injuries. The facility (in Wales) is 1000 acres in size.

I just saw a news clip about it. Could very well be just hyperventilating of the press.

Whenever a company comes in to play the arbs and vulture capitalists enter the fray. After fifty years of watching Wall Street's financial engineering shenanigans, I'd trust the Czechs first. YMMV.
