Colt to Bolt? CEO Says Gun Company Feels Unwelcome in Connecticut
http://www.foxnews.mobi/quickPage.ht...31.proteus.fma
Colt's Manufacturing, the company that has made the iconic gun dubbed "The Peacemaker" for more than a century, could pull up its Connecticut stakes after coming under fire in the national debate over the Second Amendment.
President and CEO Dennis Veilleux said the pro-gun control climate that has taken hold in the wake of the Sandy Hook school massacre and other firearm attacks has left him feeling unwelcome in the state his company has called home for 175 years. Proposed laws being debated by the Legislature and pushed by Gov. Dannel Malloy include a new gun offender registry, an expanded assault weapons ban, ammunition restrictions and a ban on bulk purchases of handguns. Veilleux said those measures have put Colt and its nearly 700 employees in the crosshairs.Its easier to fool people than to convince them they've been fooled....Mark Twain

I'll believe it when I see it. And Colt was anti-civilian back before it was in style.
But I am not going to condemn them for speaking up about it. It helps, regardless of their motivations.
