Unfortunately you are right. Easily one of the biggest names in firearms, and it won't mean shit.

Colt hasn't even been winning the government bids, anyways.

As in if they could say "look we supply **% of our service men's weapons, blah blah". Nevermind.

I can see that train of thought. My thought on it is we've seen all these firearm/accessory manufacturers step up in opposition, but when it comes to the "big names" we hear crickets, well finally one of the biggest steps up.

One the issues is you have to look at the history. I understand that for you Colt has a minor impact since you are 32. But for many and this applies to the old guys making the laws Colt has name recognition. Just a thought......

Au Contraire, perhaps the first gun I ever held was an 1*0+ year old Peacemaker that my dad bought when I was ~7. It's not all KRISS and Glock to me, but your statement in itself shows the point that "You may not be into the history of firearms, but Colt...". I'd counter-bet that many of the lawmakers would be more familiar with Glock (notoriously for the prevalence in violent Rap music which took center stage during the 90's, and that idiot who shot Giffords + 19 others) and Remington (big Hunting where arguably much of the Lobbying money has come from, until now with players like Magpul coming onto the scene) and just not give enough credit to Colt where it's clearly due.
