The consumer market for rifles has 'experienced significant excess manufacturing capacity' and there's too much supply of AR-15 guns on the market to justify making more, Colt said in a statement
The consumer market for rifles has"experienced significant excess manufacturing capacity" and there's too much supply of AR-15 guns on the market to justify making more, the company said in a statement. Colt will still manufacture other consumer guns, including pistols and revolvers, and it will continue to expand its network of dealers. Colt said its business remains healthy, buoyed by its numerous military and law enforcement contracts.
Colt reaffirmed its support for the Second Amendment, but the company said that it is"good sense to follow consumer demand and to adjust as market dynamics change."Read MoreSeveral other companies make the AR-15-style guns, including Palmetto State Armory and Smith and Wesson. The type of firearm has come under scrutiny because it's the weapon of choice for mass shooters. The gunmen in the Aurora, Las Vegas and Dayton shootings, among many others, used AR-15-style weapons.
