This is fake news that the media and antis want to claim that they have scored a victory in our back yard. Colt had already announced that their LEO and military contracts were a priority and without trying to say it - that their civilian competitors were essentially outselling them. So they posted a message on their website to correct the misconception that they are not committed to the civilian market. But you can read their actual statement here: https://www.colt.com/news/2630

There are so many better rifles and competitively priced lower end ones that Colt can't compete. For the average or serious rifle customer, Colt just isn't a really good choice and hasn't been for a very long time.
