Oh, come on! Mr. Ruger might have made a bad mistake, but this is not anywhere near as bad as the Smith & Wesson deal with the Clinton administration. Smith & Wesson willingly entered into that arrangement (knowing full well) that they were undermining the decision of the other firearms manufacturers to fight it!

There is no comparison. I will not buy a Smith & Wesson product again, until the company admits that the Clinton deal was wrong, and issues a public apology to all American gun owners!! In the meantime if S&W goes out of business, so what? STI kicks their ass anyway!

Personally, I will gladly continue to support Ruger. There is a difference in a mistake, and willful deception. If you turn a blind eye, and support Smith & Wesson in spite of what they've done, then you are a Smith & Wesson groupie- not a 2nd Amendment Defender!

acually Smith & Wesson was recently sold to an American company, who have disavowed what the previous owners did, and are working with the Bush admin. to fix it.

Ditto. No new S&W's till they RENOUNCE the Clinton deal. Backing away is not enough.

Oh, come on! Mr. Ruger might have made a bad mistake, but this is not anywhere near as bad as the Smith & Wesson deal with the Clinton administration.

You would buy from a company who's former head had stated:

"No honest man needs more than 10 rounds in any gun."

and

"I never meant for simple civilians to have my 20 or 30 round magazines or my folding stock."

This "simple civilian" will never buy from Ruger again until this high capacity magazine law is tossed out (good luck in that). I have never bought anything from Smith and Wesson either, but if the only two gun companies left were Ruger and Smith & Wesson; Ruger would not be my choice.

It's because of Ruger that high capacity magazines are now getting very rare. What widespread effects did the Smith and Wesson deal have on U.S. firearm owners?

Smith and Wesson was attacked by many lawyers with lawsuits versus Ruger who willfuly jumped up unto the opponents' side on to get some more money.

Ruger is far worse than Smith and Wesson. I will not purchase from Smith and Wesson either until they have fixed up the mess that they have made with former Clinton administration.

Oh, c'mon what president or congress hasn't made some sort of shady deal with some huge company or manufacturer. I sleep with my Smith & Wesson just to feel safe. Plus, it's probably the only thing in my home that's American made, so big deal with Clinton. George seems to be screwing up far better than any other pres out there! My holding my breath for him to end the war is pointless, so maybe you should give up thinking you'll get an apology.

ROCK ON SMITH & WESSON KEEP THE WEST WILD
