Hypo: Billionaire buys all public gun manufacturers
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 24th, 2018 1:52 PM Author: Hyperactive Telephone Takes them private and then bam, one day just shuts them all down. You could buy the three biggest for $5 billion. Then he devotes another $30 billion to tie up means of production for any upstart manufacturers.
How long does this work? What market consequences?
Would be the greatest natural experiment on guns ever. |
Date: May 24th, 2018 1:52 PM Author: Fuchsia Chapel Queen Of The Night What do you mean tie up means of production?
All you need is machining tools and steel
All the private gun companies like Beretta will just sell more guns
Is he going to do this internationally?
This is such a dumb hypo
