Ha, I've gambled in their casino many times. They were one of the first, if not the first Indian tribe to start the "Indian casinos" here in California.

Good for them.

Funny how you didn't see any help from the government, unlike when the auto industry was about to go tits up!

Colt went to hell when they thought they could do without the civilian market....They learned the hard way. I am betting they will come back proud and tall. They still build the best 1911's made as far as I am concerned. If you buy one of the new guns that they have produced for MARSOC, you will have one of the best 1911's ever built. I have shot 3 of theem and they are all of that and a bag of donuts.

Colt is bogged down in union wages and oncoming union scale pensions.
The Unions will be our downfall. I'm for right to work & free market.
IMHO the unions have gotten out of hand!

Will be? They have been, for some time now. There was a time when the unions were useful, but with all the labor laws in place now, the time for unions has come and gone, but that's just MY 0.02.

Unions protect crappy people from getting fired, especially bad teachers!

Agreed 100% ! If it were not for the unions, China might not OWN Us!
High Wages = High Prices! China = Low Wages and low quality low priced goods
Unions are like The Government, started out OK. But have grown WAY TOO BIG & Powerful!
