Title: Colt thinks it can nuance itself without repurcusion
Post by: Libertas 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.
