Ruger is making silencers. **** they just recently in 94 decided we didn't deserve to own high cap magazines. True hypocrites. All they care about is the money. They definitely don't give a **** about their customers.
William “Bill” Ruger is possibly as famous for his alleged pro gun control stance as he is for making high quality firearms. In a March 1989 letter to the United States Congress, Bill Ruger stated his support for legislation that would “…prohibit the possession of high capacity magazines.” He went on to say that “…a simple, complete and unequivocal ban on large capacity magazines…” would be a more effective law than trying to “outlaw or license” guns that would be ultimately called “assault weapons.”
Bill Ruger has been dead for more than 15 years. Companies outlive their owners. Management changes. Policies change. Marketplaces change.
S&W committed plenty of gun control sin during the same era. The good news, it's been bought and sold a few times since then, and the new ownership doesn't do that anymore.
