Billionaire Hypocrite Back To Throwing Cash At Gun Control

George Soros, the billionaire who has donated millions to gun control over the years, recently pledged more than $25 million in support of Hillary Clinton and other Democratic candidates. Soros has mostly laid low since spending an exorbitant $27 million in a failed attempt to defeat George W. Bush in 2004.

But while the 85-year-old businessman believes you and I shouldn’t have guns, he’s more than happy to profit from the firearm industry. Earlier this year, International Business Times reported that Soros was a top shareholder in Vista Outdoors—one of America’s top ammunition manufacturers—and Olin Corporation, another ammunition manufacturer that operates under the Winchester name. 

Wealthy elitists like Soros and Michael Bloomberg—each protected by private armed security details and insulated from the world you and I live in—think they can use their billions to buy a gun-free America. Let’s remind them that America isn’t for sale.

Standing Guard | The NRA Gathers to Celebrate Our Freedom

The momentum we’re seeing across the country is both encouraging and energizing. January opened with tremendous activity at the NRA booth during SHOT Show, where members, industry partners and supporters stopped by to connect, share ideas and reaffirm their commitment to freedom and the Second Amendment.

Port Authority Doubles Down on Constitution-Free Zone with High-Profile Arrest

As anyone who has passed a basic civics class knows, the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All legislation and official government actions are subject to its limits.
