If a federally licensed firearm retailer—operating legally—can be shut down overnight by a payment processor or bank, what does that say about access to financial services?

The Soros family isn’t just soft-on-crime. They’re virulently antigun, funding efforts to strip gun rights from law-abiding Americans and attack the industry that makes those rights possible.

All told, industry data reveals that 32,091,000 Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) are in circulation since 1990.

Gov. Gianforte even offered some praise to his colleagues, though there’s plenty of friendly competition among them, saying, “And I’ll tell you, if you’re in the firearm industry, you’d do well by yourself to move any one of these red states.”

If “more guns equals more murders” were a dependable rule, this is the period when the trend should be unmistakable and persistent. Except it isn’t.

For comparison, the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported an unadjusted December 2025 NICS figure of 2,220,852, reflecting a 16.1 percent decline from the unadjusted 2,647,933 checks recorded in December 2024.

The younger Soros, Alexander, has already made it abundantly clear he will not just continue his father’s work, but will go even farther to dole out the Open Society Foundation’s approximately $1.5 billion to favored causes.

NSSF just dropped the numbers for 2025’s “Black Friday” week, and while they’re slightly lower than last year’s record pace, the appetite for firearms among law-abiding Americans is still running hot.

This week marks 20 years since the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) became law.
