He's been dead for a long time, yet some dumbasses, who shan't be named, can't seem to grasp this. He's dead. He's no longer a driving force in his company.
Get over it. |

Quoted: He sent this in a letter to all members of Congress on March 30, 1989. The main reason I don't prefer Ruger firearms. You younger shooters take note. Ready? "The best way to address the firepower concern is therefore not to try to outlaw or license many millions of older and perfectly legitimate firearms (which would be a licensing effort of staggering proportions) but to prohibit the possession of high capacity magazines. By a simple, complete and unequivocal ban on large capacity magazines, all the difficulty of defining 'assault rifle' and 'semi-automatic rifles' is eliminated. The large capacity magazine itself, separate or attached to the firearm, becomes the prohibited item. A single amendment to Federal firearms laws could effectively implement these objectives." There is William B Ruger in a nutshell.  Where is your God now? |

Every single time this thread comes up I wonder if some of you should be allowed to own anything more dangerous than a plastic bucket and shovel. Plastic shovels are pretty dangerous. You could poke somebody's eye out with one. Every get hit with a beach bucket full of sand? My little brother got me with one once. KTFO. Maybe they can play with crayons and paste. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 1. We shouldn't buy Rugers because of the quote of Bill Ruger in regards to magazines. 2. We shouldn't buy S&W because they caved in during the Clinton era and put in hammer locks 3. We shouldn't buy Colts because they are a union organization 4. We should buy H&K's because they hate us. Are you happy now? Let it go he's dead, and Ruger is producing Ar-15's with 30 rnd magazines. |

Do you realize that: 1. Bill is dead. 2. Ruger is no longer ran by him. Why hate the company now? I will never buy or own a single item with the Ruger logo on it because, even 50 years from now, I want other companies to be so worried about what happened to the Ruger and Zumbo, that if they even think about turning Quisling on us, they lose controls of their bladder and bowels. The mag cap restrictions and the AWB took place during my prime years of enjoying the hobby. Ask WWII vets how long it took them start buying Japanese and German cars.

You're ignoring a company that's come out with AR-pattern rifles and carbines, a whole bunch of newer pistols to include a line of "high" capacity service striker-fired guns, started selling 20 and 30-round Mini magazines direct to the public, and has donated millions to the NRA to fight restrictive legislation...and that's all in the past 6-7 years. Bill Ruger is long dead. Mitsubishi doesn't make A6M airplanes any more. |

It was rumored for years that Bill Ruger kept all the spare parts for the Mark I in a cigar box.
Not his personal Mark I, the entire production run. A real genius when it came to design, but a Fudd at heart, and a man who never understood why the Cincinnati revolt happened in 1977. |

I was confused by his statement because I don't know that ruger felt the sting from boycotters and has become so much bigger and better and ole Zumbo still gets paid to do his thing which I find unfortunate but many gun owners seem to forget that there are plenty of people that agreed with him even in our camp. |

OP, your free to spend your money as you please, don't like rugers? Don't buy one. But by your logic we shouldn't by Mercedes toyotas or Hondas because they are from countries that were at one point in history lead by people who did bad things. Saying "I won't buy a ruger because Bill Ruger supported hi-cap magazine bans" is the same as saying "I won't buy a Volkswagen because Germany used to be lead by Hitler and be committed genocide" Your argument is full of derp. Ruger as it is now is one of the best friends we all have in the firearms industry. They listen to what we want and they produce good quality firearms to meet those needs. I would buy a ruger over a Remington product any day of the week because I would rather support them than the shitty Freedom Group.
