Taurus taking over Remington?

Brazilian gunmaker Forjas Taurus SA is emerging as a likely bidder for Freedom Group Inc. as analysts bet that proposed U.S. gun controls will fail to deter demand in the world’s largest consumer firearms market.

It looks like Taurus of Brazil is shaping up to be the likely buyer for the Freedom Group. If Taurus wins the bid, that means a good chunk of formerly American gun companies will become foreign owned. Here's a list of companies that Taurus would own:

Remington
Remington Military
Bushmaster
Remington LE
Marlin
H&R
Dakota Arms
Tapco
DPMS
Parker Gunmakers
Barnes Bullets
Advanced Armament Corp.
Para USA
Remington PMPD
Mountain Khakis


Some of those companies I have never heard of but Remington, Marlin, & Bushmaster...those are some pretty iconic names in the history of guns and this county. I like Taurus but I'm not sure I like them this much!
