I think he actually aided or actively did what he could to aid the passage of some gun restrictions, like limiting magazines, as mentioned.

Yep. Conveniently, the mini 14 and mini 30 were not on the ban list. Fucker was ok with banning other semi autos as long as it meant he would sell more rifles. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

EXACTLY WGAT HE DID. I almost went to his funeral to make sure he was in the fucking box. all about ruger not the 2ND AMENDENT weasel and scumbag 1texan |

He's dead. Any animosity I held toward him died with him. End of story.
Ruger has decided to get with the times since he passed, so I hold no animosity toward them, either. |

He was a freedom-hating douchebag, but he's dead and gone now. Ruger has put THAT Numbnuts behind them.

Yeah, because his Mini 14 wasn't on the list. Quoted:
This would be one of the few instances where the owner dying and the company ending up in other hands actually BENEFITED said company. This |

Fuck bill ruger. He also said that little people didn't need his mini 14. Guess what, we have far better shit than your mini 14, bitch.
THAT BEING SAID - Ruger has probably armed more good citizens with some of their concealed carry guns, and plenty of new shooters have been introduced to guns by the 10-22, so ruger gets a pass. Still - Fuck bill ruger. |

I can't remember why? View Quote Bill Ruger hated guns so much that he invented the time machine that Ronnie Raygun used to go back in time and force the poor misunderstood democrat party to institute the 1934 NFA, and 1968GCA. Bill Ruger then teamed up with android reaghan to do the same with the Brady Bill and the 94AWB. Who can forget poor "fun to have a beer with" Bill Clinton crying over being forced to sign those bills? Or Ruger thought you could compromise with communists and got bit over it. |

Don't forget his refusal to sell magazines for the Mini 14 except to law enforcement.

Is he still dead? Just checking.
I'd be in deep shit of zombie bill ruger starting digging up my caches, like a dog going after bones |

IIRC correctly back in the day, part of it was that the then-new Glock 17 was kicking the unholy hell out of his POS P-85 and P-89. Ruger couldn't get PD's interested in it, and certainly the civilian market wasn't buying it. So Ruger decided if he could limit mag capacity he'd take away the Glock's advantage and everyone would flock to his P series pistols. Didn't happen, and we got to spend a decade spending a huge wad of cash for pre-ban Glock, Beretta, or Sig mags.
IMHO, Ruger makes great .22's, great revolvers, and fair bolt action rifles. Friends don't let friends buy Ruger centerfire semi-autos, regardless of whether they are handgun or rifle. Yeah, I know - lots of folks have "great" 1911's or AR's. I still won't own a Ruger semi-auto centerfire firearm. |

View Quote Bill Ruger just spent a brazillion bucks building his factory in Arizona to build the P-85 9mm 15rd pistol, when the communists started babbling about magazine restrictions (down to 5 rds in some versions) so he thought he could compromise with them at 15rds, which by some amazing coincidence, was 2rds shy of the Glock 17, which was taking all of the police contracts that his P85 could get. |

Exactly, often times it gets run straight into the ground, but in this case Ruger has become more innovative and popular in the industry. I do always find it hilarious when I look at my Ruger 25 round 10/22 mags. Oh Bill, if you could see your company now. It's become even better without you. |

Sect. of Housing under Bush, the father, said that home invaders don't come alone and it's not unusual to have several perpetrators involved in one incident. She points out that there is no guarantee that a homeowner can stop an invasion in they had to reload. She wants a bigger magazine (30 round) so the likelihood of reloading is less. |

Back in the day Ruger and Smith and Wesson made deals to try to save their companies or get an advantage over other rivals in the business.
They were BOTH wrong to make deals with the devils. They were being threatened with millions in never ending lawsuits and loss of contracts.. Today they have some protection from that. The settlements they agreed to is how Smith and Wesson's revolvers ended up with the "Hillary Hole" in the side (lock). I still won't buy a Smith with a lock because of that "victory" they gave the democrats. I'll buy Ruger's because no one makes revolvers so strong and good for such bargain prices. Also no lock. |
