From KVUE:
In an unprecedented move, Colt Firearms is immediately suspending production of rifles for the civilian market, including the AR-15.
Colt's chief executive officer, Dennis Veilleux, says it is not permanently ending production but believes there is already an adequate supply of sporting rifles on the market. He said in a statement Thursday the company will concentrate on fulfilling military and law enforcement contracts with its rifle manufacturing.
