Then this happened.....
Colt will stop manufacturing AR-15 assault rifle for consumer market As usual, you don't have the first clue why Colt said that. Here I'll SCHOOL YOU AGAIN !
1994 the 'Look Like and the AR-15 variants were banned.
Temporally, (and with NO Success)
At that time their were about 30 Manufactures, variants, of the AR-15.
In 2004 the BAN was lifted, and withing a year their were over 100 Manufactures/variants.
The demand was so great, one had to pay fully, UP front, just to get in line. Some companies even stopped answering the phone, cause they could not take any more orders !
Today their are 500 Manufactures, of some sort of AR-15 style variants.
In over three dozen calibers, Some even Shotguns.
(Yes Virginia, Five Hundred)
Interesting side note, their are only 6 manufactures that make Lowers.
Yet they will make them to any specks you tell them to.
They are the modern equivalent of Crescent Arms in the 20-30's
Those variants have become one of the most popular, sold, and made firearms that ever existed.
In 2004, 107,000 were made. In 2015, the number was 1.2 million.
Now for MORE Schooling.
Why did Colt announce that they were not going to make the AR-15 style gun.
1. To expensive to make.
2. Competition undercutting the price.
3. The latest 'Gun Ban' furry is a good time to announce.
4. Colt perceive that some of the UL Snowflakes, will spend money on buying a Colt product, because they think Colt is a nice guy.
Here are some more reasons:
"...The company's president and chief executive, Dennis Veilleux, said that the consumer market has "experienced significant excess manufacturing capacity," and that Colt believes there are enough rifles on the market for the foreseeable future...."
"...The gun-maker said the decision is purely market-driven and made no mention of any public pressure over the AR-15's use in several mass shootings...."
"...Colt will suspend production of AR-15 rifles ..."
(OH tt, do you understand the word, s u s p e n d ?)
"... Colt said its business remains healthy, buoyed by its numerous military and law enforcement contracts. Currently, these high-volume contracts are absorbing all of Colt’s manufacturing capacity for rifles,” the Connecticut-based company said..."
"...Veilleux said in the statement the company remains committed to the second amendment and is adapting to consumer demand..."
Which means Colt is not Selling enough to make a Profit.
Oh that's right tt, you really don't know anything about marketing.
Everyone is just suppose to 'give' things away,
(According to what the DSA people Tell You to say !)
Yet another ranting/raving post from mn. I posted the article with zero commentary and just the introduction, "Then this happened..."
Then you go off on a tirade. (with nearly every single use of the words 'there', 'they're' and 'their' and 'to' completely wrong)
My assesment of you is correct, sadly.
Am I the only one seeing this?
