Sadly, Bill Ruger is one of the reasons gun control was as successful as it was in America. He threw everyones rights under the bus in order to give his company an edge in the market.

I’ll never give that company money until they UNDO the damage that Bill Ruger did. He supported the 1968 GCA, he was an ardent supporter of the 1994 semi auto ban.

Too bad Gingrich associated himself with Ruger... he could have done much better.

That ban excluded the Mini-14. A decent carbine.

But there's no doubt Ruger threw everyone else under the bus.

You are correct, Sir. Bill Ruger had a tiered system for selling the Mini-14 - even in semi-auto configuration. He also choked (as did S&W and Bushmaster) during the krinton assault on the 2A. Further, Mr. Ruger was the one that began the ‘Responsible ownership’ mantra that many anti-2A pols have picked up. I had little doubt that he would’ve sold out Americans for a little gub’mint bidness back in the day.

How unlike Mr. Barrett...

Of course. What better venue for Newton to strut his manliness than a trip to another wobbly - S&R?

The new management of Ruger is very pro 2nd.
