I just ran across this, and it blows my mind: Torstar, an anti-gun consortium & owner of The Toronto Star newspaper, has bought 56% of forum owner (several hundred forums) Vertical Scope !
http://www.canadalandshow.com/torstar-o ... un-forums/
Some of the forums they control are DefensiveCarry.com, AR15Forums.com, FloridaConcealedCarry.com, M14Forum.com, SniperForums.com, and TheAKForum.net.

Re: WTF ! Anti's Actually Own Multiple Gun Forums ?
The optimistic take on it is just that they are being capitalists and 'diversifying' (many political socialists are all-too-happy to make money the old-fashioned way via capitalism, even while they try to destroy it - because they see easier profits for themselves under socialism).
The other possibility is that they are doing it in order to either:
a) gather 'data' on gun owners, who they are, what they say, how they organize, what they plan, or
b) prepare to shut-down the forums and destroy archived information when politically expedient.
I'm thinking they wouldn't have to BUY the forums to do "a", so "b" is the more likely option.
Maybe a good idea for forum members (of all gun forums) to at least have some known pro-gun hosts they could back up to if needed.

Howdy,
Shutdown is perhaps an option, my first thought was for them to slide in their propaganda......

on another positive note... maybe it's their investment company doing the buying... and they don't know it!

Even if it’s a mistake, they are still lying sneaks who only do things to benefit themselves. They will want info on us and control of communications.

It just enforces what I've always said...liberals have no conscience when it comes to making money! Most of us stick to our beliefs and try to support gun friendly businesses, and avoid antigun businesses. But a liberal business owner would sell guns to his mother regardless of how antigun he was, if it meant a buck in his pocket!

It could be that they bought them to mine them for information.
