@Jonaschuzzlewit @GabeLakmann @BroDrillard @brimshae @leespringfield1903 I’ve softened on it a bit over time, Colt was making those dumb decisions hoping to forestall an out and out ban. If it weren’t for the sunset we’d STILL have an AWB and all our gun industry fun would have been cali-legal all this time. From their POV it looked like cucking might keep them alive, that self-regulation would prevent legislation.

Thanks to braver companies pushing the envelope we know it was a retarded tactic in hindsight, but I don’t buy the idea it was a bunch of democrat union guys trying to kill their own product. They were just as scared of the ATF then as normies are now, and there weren’t 10,000 other AR companies taking the heat off their backs.

Also their ineptitude leaked the M16 TDP, so that’s cool
