Colt thinks it can nuance itself without repurcusion
« on: September 16, 2019, 12:09:51 PM »
Colt moving away from selling ARs to civilians isn’t a sign that the company wants to stop selling guns to civilians altogether, however. Instead, the company will ramp up sales of pistols and revolvers, including its 1911 models, Cobra, King Cobra, and Single Action Army collectible series.

In a statement to NRA’s Shooting Illustrated, Colt’s senior vice president for commercial business, Paul Spitale, said that the civilian AR production cut was based on consumer feedback and a close analysis of the market’s ebbs and flows.

[ … ]

According to Spitale, rifles aren’t heavily favored by the civilian market, resulting in lower profit margins for Colt while the company continues to go full steam on producing rifles to fulfill outstanding military and law enforcement contracts.

They can pretend all they want...but the real bottom line is they chose to arm those who could oppress us...over us, period!

They have the same dream the socialist have...after all many have already said they are coming for our rifles...and socialism always first takes the guns...then...

Whaaat?!  "Rifles aren’t heavily favored by the civilian market"!  What has Spitale been smoking?  Or was he avoiding the truth: Colt's rifles aren't heavily favored by civilians because ........... better rifles can be had for less money.

Way to go, too, to put all their eggs in the government basket.

Meh.

“Please eat me last, kind Mr. Crocodile sir.”
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Anybody going along with this affront is already a parboiled frog.
