And then the Walker Colt came along.

He hooked up with Eli Whitney.

And Eli Whitney got him to figure out how to produce this Walker Colt for the Texas Rangers.

became a part of infamy and was big and then he did the whole whatever but colt was always failing and then like landing in freaking roses they'd fall in bullshit and come up in roses every freaking time uh then they freaking went bankrupt so we're going bankrupt and then world war one comes along and they have the 1911 and they make a crap load of money with that and

The BAR and all that stuff starts being made by Colt.

Colt makes the monitor and then they start going broke again because they got hit by the Great Depression.

But they didn't fire anybody.

They kept all the workers on because they made so much money from World War One that they were able to freaking not fire anybody throughout the Great Depression of what, 12 years?

It's crazy.

They had dudes whose only job is to sweep a clean warehouse floor and they didn't let them go because they had dad, granddad, everybody worked there for generations.

Well, they were about to go under again, and World War II happens, and boom, they're freaking back in the money again.

They start to go under again, and Vietnam happens.

They're back in the money.

They just keep failing, doing dumb shit, and they still come along.

Remember, they haven't invented anything that was a hit since 1911.

I mean, okay, the AR.

They built the AR.

They came up with various versions.

Yeah, but it's like, Colt was a horrible company that keeps failing, and CZ bought them.

And then went, hey, we'll put the people in Colt in charge of CZ.
