So did Colt just cave in to the Dems?

Colt is operating under stringent budget conditions, but I wonder if the sales rate of ARs has diminished … compared to other firearms? If attitudes toward the "modern sporting rifle" are changing? If that's  why the marketplace is saturated, as Colt claims?

There was definitely a craze for them for some years. I built one out of parts … just for the hell of it.

Some articles are saying its more poor business planning. Colt has been in bad finances for awhile. One business article said that the Patent expiration allowed other manufacturers  to step in and take market share. Kimber and Bushmaster were cited specifically for hurting Colt in the AR category. As of today the modern sporting rifle is available from other manufacturers, but I'll bet the cost to buy just went up.
