A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Does the word "ironic" apply here?

They'll get tons of government contracts due to who they are. Ya see, Colt as it was couldn't compete...but Native Americans will be guaranteed contracts. Even if the product is no better than the next product. I cry for the fighting soldier.

Don't cry yet. They may very well put out a superior quality product. They'll bid and win government contracts at a low premium due to who they are. Hopefully they'll be as savvy in producing quality firearms as they are business men.

There is NO WAY they can put out a higher quality firearm at a competitive price. Colt is bogged down in union wages and oncoming union scale pensions. Their overhead is too high a percentage of their earning potential. They pissed on the American consumer for years, relying on government contracts. When they lost the last contract their finances crumbled and American consumers turned to other firearms. Without government contracts Colt is a dead company. Read the forums, the basic take is F*ck Colt. The Native Americans will get contracts by who they are, not by a better product. Hell, it might pay to dump money on their stock until a week after they sign the first contract. Then sell the stock and buy some Springfield guns.
