California Native American Tribe looking to make a bid to purchase Colt Firearms

[EQGuy]

The Morongo Tribe of Mission Indians wants to purchase Colt Holding Company. They are in Southern California.

California tribe eyes bid for gun maker Colt

That would truly be interesting it they obtain ownership ..... gotta be a step up from the poor management of the current owners. If they relocate the manufacturing I hope it's to a gun friendly state and not to California.

if they have some flavor of vision, have at it.

A Native-American tribe buying Colt seems almost like an Israeli company purchasing Daimler-Benz.

They also need to dump the current union goldbricks and start with a fresh slate using new employees who want to produce, and be rewarded for it.

Lots of jobs down here working for the tribes. Most everyone I know is happy working for them. I've subbed work with them for years with no problems. They run a tight business.

About the comment above by PatriotX. I get what you're trying to say. but........

I can't understand why so many of my tribal friends love their Colts and Winchesters so much. Crazy huh?

What really freaks me out is how many of my Jewish friends drive Mercedes and other German cars. Say it ain't so!

Move the plant to Rocky River, Ohio. There's an empty Target store next to a dying strip mall, just begging to be bulldozed and turned into something useful.

And if they need a part Apache IT manager...

I have no doubt that somebody will buy Colt. These guys are as good as any provided they actually have a solid plan to stabilize and rebuild it into a good company again.

I would love to see them but it.Maybe then we would have a line of products that the average person would want to have as well as be able to afford having.

Those "union goldbricks" make good guns. Colt 1911s, ARs and SAAs are all fine products, pretty much the standards to measure by. The problems lay with management and financing and perhaps R n D, not product quality.

 

[Wyatt Burp]

A couple questions. I wonder how the union rules apply to an Indian tribe who in a way is a sovereign nation, or something to that effect. Would, or could the tribes circumvent the unions and go non union? Or would better management do better, union or not?

 

[Malpasowildlifer]

Jonas and Romulus should buy it!!!!

 

[fiasconva]

Ain't it agin the law for them redskins to have guns??? Sorry, been watching too many westerns lately.

Why?

I thinks it's great and Colt would continue being American.
Imagine an offshore company or investment fund would purchase it, now that would be terrible.

Call Elizabeth Warren

 

[rwsmith]

OMG

They are arming the natives!

 

[rwsmith]

Righto....

It could be bought out by China.

I'm sure there will be Chinese investors interested.
