I remember Colt being accused of selling us out when they changed the pin dimensions of their ARs, to make them less easy to convert to full-auto, in hopes of keeping gun control advocates at bay.
Olympic Arms got flak for chambering an AR pistol in 7.62x39, allowing the government to ban cheap ammo as "armor piercing" because it had become "pistol ammo".
S&W cut a deal to avoid prosecution and get preferential treatment in government contracts by installing locks in their revolvers.
And so it goes.
