This may be old news on TFL but search isn’t working and this is too important to ignore.
If it already has been discussed (into the ground) then I ask a TFL “Chief” to delete this “Indian’s” post.
There is an entire history to be read at this url (below). I have NO idea of the validity of this information (OK, MalH? ) so I’d appreciate comments.

Colt's new CEO is Steven Sliwa, a former professor at Embry-Riddle university. Sliwa,
like Stewart before him, is no friend of the RKBA cause, as shown by his political
contributions. From the CRP we learn that Sliwa has donated to a number of
gun-grabbers: in 1995 he gave $1000 to Bill Clinton, and $1000 to Louis Stokes; in 1994
he gave to Tom Harkin and Frank Lautenberg. To his credit, Sliwa later gave to some
pro-gun candidates, such as Robin Hayes.
Recently, I learned that Sliwa gave a talk at a meeting of a public policy group called Join
Together, which is concerned with firearms violence. Predictably, they are rabidly
anti-gun, and quite left of center. What was Sliwa's talk about? Using technology to
increase firearms safety, ie, Colt's "smart gun" research

There is a lot more to read and ponder. The writer, as I understand him, states Colt
executives support anti-gun politicians (as well as pro-gun politicians). Then the writer says the NRA defends Colt executives against the gun owners’ backlash (blaming it on bad press).
There are links in the referenced article to related sites.

Again, if this is “old hat” to everyone on TFL, I apologize; however, I feel this is
information to be explained, discussed, and remembered.
