Weaponized America: Sturm, Ruger Backlog Doubles; Gun Production, Shipments Surge

Whether it is due to the recent governmental attempt to enforce assorted gun controlling measures in the aftermath of the Newtown, CT shooting, or, merely driven by the same catalyst that saw a surge in gun sales four years ago, namely the presidential election, one thing is certain: America is weaponizing itself at an unheard of pace, with both Sturm, Ruger shipments and units produced surpassing 500,000 each in one quarter for the first time in history.

The Ruger is a decent gun, if you can find one. You are doing the right thing by looking and handling the guns, Some pistols just feel right to some people. Find something that feels right to you. It is hard to go wrong with a decent .22. If you do not like it, they are in demand, so you can usually get most of your money back out of it in a private sale.

We may need to start thinking and planing how we can win such a war.

“Read Unintended Consequences by John Ross and anything by Matt Bracken (our own Travis McGee).”

I see ‘Leaderless resistance’ is indeed what we are unfortunately looking at here.

I must say I am impressed by the speed and smoothness to which all the pieces of the puzzle have been coming together for a mass resistance movement. We should however be aware that the media while quite unwilling to suppress Islamic figureheads have repeatedly demonstrated themselves more than happy to suppress conservative voices even moderate ones.

We will need to establish 2ndary lines of broadcast commutations for our figureheads to corrodnate us perhaps by way of blogs and pod-casts. Theses mediums will needs to be established, distributed, and in place where the Government can’t remove them prior to that government getting serous about suppressing such resistance.

Indeed what we are currently looking at are forums like free republic, particular as we seem to be losing mediums like Fox News.(the left busy shutting us down there)

What are you going to do with bullets? Your pistol is chambered for the .22 Long Rifle cartridge.

I got a brick of 500 of those things that, when you put in the magazine of 10, and you pull the trigger, they go boooom . . . how's that?

Actually, you're mistaken about .22 Long Rifle cartridge . . . I use the small things that go boooom . . . maybe an inch long

Just bought a brand new Ruger Mark III

Could a woman use that kind of gun? Is it easy to use, clean, take care of??

There's virtually no kickback . . . light . . . grips well . . . supposed to be rather difficult to take apart and reassemble though.

[laweeks]

all put together except for the mainspring housing latch. The last part. It’s like a Rubiks cube. But I’ll get it.

My son said there's a kit that can be installed so you won't have difficulty re-assembling it. Not sure how to get it.

[BipolarBob]

I don't know what it would be. This is a one piece item. I put a trigger kit in my pistol and all I need is for that last piece to fit. It almost does but not quite.

I remember when a coal handler brought his Ruger pistol to the control room. I looked at it, quickly disassembled it and challenged him to put it together.

He spent hours at it! Then I took it, turned my back and within a few seconds I had it back together. He reached for it, and I quickly disassembled it again!

He spent much of the midnight shift cussing me while trying to put it back together.

Finally he learned the “trick”.

The trick is .....Cash, Checks or credit cards accepted! ;-D

[BipolarBob]

Mine is tight. I had to peck it with a mallet to get it out. I put a new trigger kit in and . . . wait did you say you accept credit cards?

[dragonblustar]

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind : )

I just let mine get dirty. My dad took it apart and he had a heck of a time getting it back together. Since then, I swore never to do a takedown until it stops shooting.
