Coltz

This is just the infusion that Colt needs.

 

[Robin]

Colt has been mismanaged for years, both business wise and quality wise. I don't like to see an American company with such deep roots being lost to the Europeans, but I agree, this just might be the infusion Colt needs. CZ is quality!

Yup it would be terrible. Other than CZ just built a massive facility here in the US, also owns Dan Wesson

 

[Catskillkid]

Now if we could just get them to acquire Remington.

 

[Saltwater60]

I’d approve. Better than colt going bankrupt.

Again

John Browning went to FN !

CZ is a world class firearms company. This is a win for Colt.

CZ is a world class firearms company. This is a win for Colt.

And would be a bigger win for the US consumer

I have to agree with this. I own 4 CZ rifles and all of them are quality built, with every attention paid to detail, fit and finish. Not to mention how good they shoot.

 

[Saltwater60]

Again

If you want to get technical there’s more than one again. Not sure how many times but man it’s been 3-4 that I know of. Shame.

Should be protected as a National Interest, like Amtrak, AT&T, Big Steel and other corporations that have gotten Federal Assistance to remain afloat!!!

Not sure you want foreign national corporations owning companies with vital interest to our security (Firearms)...

Or maybe I'm just sensitive to the issue!?

Really?? Man just really??

You really want big brother's fingers in more pie's? Gvmt has NO business in business!

I don't think the same enthusiasm would be expressed if say, Norinco, another well managed company, were in negotiations.

Norinco isn't a stand alone company

And...

 

[Edwardteach72]

And...

Well I highly doubt that the Chinese government would be buying a US company,

And to try and compare a foreign government buying a US company to a Foreign COMPANY (who again cause ill guess you may no know this, has just built a new facility 2/3 years ago in Arkansas AND already OWNS Dan Wesson, you guessed it a US company) is laughable at best

FYI the Arkansas facility never happened. Article is a year old but I haven't heard of any updates since.

UPDATE: No construction yet on gun factory announced last year at LR Port - Arkansas Times

Speaking of job growth in Pulaski County: I learned this morning of a delay in an economic project announced last year, a foreign gunmaker's location at the Little Rock Port.

Well this was one of the dumbest things I've read today,

Dumb huh? Ok, explain than why it is, and explain why it would be in "our" interest to have foreign national corporations control the one element that separates us from the rest of the so called "Free" world, that point being it's citizenry owning Firearms. And don't give me contrasting examples from any other country whereas citizens own firearms UNLESS it is a Constitutional recognized RIGHT!

You really want big brother's fingers in more pie's? Gvmt has NO business in business!

No, I don't... But how much govt fingers are actually in those foreign national corporations pie's? You think they're free to do whatever they want? Less or more regulation there? Of course that's why they want to come here, I get it. I just don't like the idea on this particular subject!

We wouldn't for a second allow a foreign national corporation come here and drill, transport, keep and sell all our petroleum reserves now would we?... Hmmmmm... How about our Farms, whether it be wheat, corn, dairy, etc.?

Good idea or no?

You tell me...

Anyways

Back to our regular programming!
