Imagine Wall Street suits turning cancer wards into profit machines—now picture that same ruthless playbook coming for your local gun shop or range. The Bull Moose Project’s bombshell report exposes how private equity vultures have swooped in, gobbling up massive swaths of America’s oncology network. We’re talking billions funneled into firms like KKR and Blackstone, snapping up practices from Texas to New York, jacking up patient costs by 26% in some spots while slashing staff and quality metrics. Physicians, once independent warriors against disease, are now corporate cogs, pressured to push pricier chemo regimens over what’s best for patients. It’s a stealthy consolidation that’s already spiked bankruptcies among these PE-backed outfits, leaving sick folks in the lurch.

This isn’t just a healthcare horror story; it’s a flashing red warning for the 2A community. Private equity’s scorched-earth model—buy low, gut operations, extract fees, flip high—mirrors the exact tactics Big Tech and urban elites use to choke out independent gun dealers and FFLs. Remember how PE firms bankrolled anti-gun outfits like Everytown while snapping up media and finance levers to amplify the narrative? Now they’re eyeing recession-proof sectors like firearms retail, where they could impose ESG mandates, force smart gun tech, or hike prices to price out working-class shooters. We’ve seen it in ammo shortages and boutique shop closures; without fierce pushback, your corner store AR builder becomes a sterile chain peddling compliance over freedom.

The implications scream urgency: 2A patriots must rally like never before. Support indie FFLs, lobby against PE carve-outs in banking regs, and expose these corporate raiders as the real threat to American independence—whether it’s your doctor’s office or your shooting lane. The Bull Moose report isn’t just data; it’s a battle cry. Read it, share it, and gear up, because if they own your cancer care, your Second Amendment is next in the crosshairs.
