At 0700 this morning we only had 2651 people that used their very very easy letter system.....now they are cooking at over 15 people a second!! sending letters to everyone of their members of Govt. No other gun company is doing this. Ruger is trying, they are in the fight, and I will back them.

They set up the letter and the process, very very easy, let it be said that we did nothing......

Not supporting the high cap mag ban this time?

[TheTexan]

I would recommend setting up an alternate letter, more along the lines of Joshua Boston's.

I for one don't want to send any letters that encourage them to enforce the gun laws already on the books (NFA for example).

[BnXmkpfrME]

no they dont.
Where is your source?

This is not your fathers Ruger company (politicaly)

[Keith and stuff]

Here is the link. I proud that this company gave my friends jobs. In fact, if you need a job, move to New Hampshire. Ruger is hiring. http://www.ruger.com/micros/advocacy/

Dear (Recipient),I am a law-abiding citizen and responsible gun owner.
I am saddened by the tragic events in Newtown, Connecticut, but I believe that efforts to impose new restrictions on me and other lawful and responsible owners like me are misguided. Did you know that violent crime with firearms has declined since the Federal "assault weapons ban" expired in 2004?
Your focus should be on strengthening mental health care and improving the quality of data supporting NICs checks (National Instant Criminal Background Check System). Do NOT pass more gun laws; instead, work to enforce the more than 20,000 gun laws already on the books.
I am your constituent and I vote. Please represent me.
Sincerely,

(Your Contact Information)

Remember this when you hear people screech that corporations are not people and therefore should not have the right to political speech, please.

As it stands now, Ruger can buy ads supporting candidates, or opposing candidates, or making their point on political issues, like, say, gun control. That's something that the government, the liberals, and even some of the louder libertarians would like stopped.

If they got their way, in this instance, for example, Ruger would be forced to stand quietly by and watch government dismantle their livelihoods along with our rights.

What I'd like to see is the right wing start driving sponsors off Piers Morgan's show, like the left did with Glenn Beck.

Here's the email text, if anyone is interested:

What? We dont need the federal government to tell us we're all crazy, and we definitely don't need them doing background checks to find out they told us we were crazy, either.

[mad cow]

There are three ways an elected official can move on an issue,the right way,stand still,or the wrong way.
They are getting a lot of pressure on #3,this is at worst a #2.
This link painlessly sent that letter to all of my State and Federal level elected officials for <2minutes of my time invested,and I'm a slow typer.
It certainly did no harm.

[oyarde]

I had an old Ruger revolver once , nice weapon and one of those whatyamacallum -14's. :)

[Acala]

no they dont.
Where is your source?



My source for what? The FACT that Ruger openly advocated a high cap magazine ban last time around? Don't try to dispute that or you will lose all credibility.

Bill Ruger sold out his countrymen and the Constitution for profit. I'm glad his company is not doing it again. Gun owners have a long memory.

[Aeroneous]

I've purchased 3 Ruger firearms in the past couple years and have loved them all. They make a solid product, and I'm glad to see they are joining the good side of this gun control debate. I wish they would allow me to edit the letter, however, as I think a flood of unique letters from constituents is more impressive than a bunch of identical computer generated letters.

thanks for the 20 year old news. Now off your piss rock and help

We have long memories, which enables us to avoid getting duped as much as the general constituency does. Having said that, we're all on the same side of this issue only if the mental health database doesn't enter the discourse. Can we just get along?

[BnXmkpfrME]

Right and your preaching to the choir........but if it was not for people and there ability to change, Ron Paul would have gotten no where versus attitudes about him 20-25 years ago. What does punishing Ruger right now do for you??

All I am saying is that he whats to have a lifelong punushment of Ruger then he can go in the corner and do that. Not sure what he gains by that....The Racheal Madows of the world could give a shit about this inner struggle he is having, they are going to push push and fight all the way

For me, I will move forward.....

Bill Ruger committed a shameful, cowardly act for which he should ALWAYS be remembered. I was fighting for liberty and he gave support and comfort to the enemy. I will never forget. Never forgetting such a despicable act IS part of the battle today. It is part of going forward. Politicians, entertainers, and industrialists need to know that if they cave now, we will never forget.

I am happy that the company that bears his shameful name is fighting on the right side. That's good. But I'm not going to get all giddy about it. They have some catching up to do to break even in my book. And the name of Ruger will ALWAYS be tarnished. That is the just "punushment" for traitors.

[BnXmkpfrME]

K......are you done?

Like I said, go in the corner and wait till they "break even" in your mind.

meanwhile the fight continues

You say Ruger, I say traitor. Forever. Get used to it.

[asurfaholic]

You say Ruger, I say traitor. Forever. Get used to it.

I say ignore what causes you don't want to support.

For me, I send letters, unique ones to people that I feel that it actually makes a difference. And no, I wont put personal information and the fact that I own weapons and send it to that monkey in the WH. Nothing good comes of it. And no, I don't want to support the 20k gun laws that exist already.

Nope not at all, nor do I want govt to keep fucking up health care. Nope

[Cleaner44]

Thanks for sharing. Action taken. It probably won't help, but it won't stop me.

[BnXmkpfrME]

bump

[CaptUSA]

bumpThanks for returning this morning. Even though some of us turn our noses up when we have disagreements, I'd like to think we can all work together when our interests align.

I won't be sending this letter, though, because of this:

Your focus should be on strengthening mental health care and improving the quality of data supporting NICs checks (National Instant Criminal Background Check System).

It should not be part of the federal government's "focus" to strengthen mental health care - or any health care, for that matter. And improving the quality of government data checks wouldn't have done anything to prevent this disaster. This is deflecting blame from an issue you care about to one that you don't care about as much. It's a little self-serving. I don't think we need the government checking us more thoroughly to ensure we're "ok" in their book to buy your product. We should focus more on educating people on how to properly care for their weapons. This is something that would have actually affected the Newtown shooting, but we don't need the government for this.

I'm all for writing letters. I think we should. Let's just not invite more government scrutiny in other areas of our lives because we don't want them in this area.

Again, welcome. And thanks for helping with the fight where we agree.

[fisharmor]

You say Ruger, I say traitor. Forever. Get used to it.

Your focus should be on strengthening mental health care and improving the quality of data supporting NICs checks (National Instant Criminal Background Check System).

Let's not forget that NICS would not even exist for Ruger to be currently actively supporting if Ruger hadn't pushed to put it in place 20 years ago.

[CaptUSA]

I didn't want to go back 20 years, because this guy seems to be moving on, but this letter still talks about strengthening NICS.

We all know how foolish it is to push for one type of liberty by limiting another. We see the big picture. You can't separate liberty.

Unfortunately, most people don't see it like we do. I'll accept their help on issues where we agree and fight them on the other side. If we don't build these types of coalitions, what are we doing here? If we shun this type of help entirely, we can be sure to lose on both sides. It's been happening for generations.

Done, and bought a ruger last week

..thanks...;)

[Todd]

done. and sent link to a dozen friends.

[kcchiefs6465]

Not trying to get off topic but what is this '20,000 gun laws on the books already' statement I keep reading. Not that I doubt the number (as I am sure it's high) I just wonder where it came from. I don't want to look like a fool if I use it in a debate and it is an exaggeration etc.

[Occam's Banana]

It should not be part of the federal government's "focus" to strengthen mental health care [...]

Good God, THIS! ^^^ A million times, THIS! ^^^

Just speculating as to what kinds of attitudes and "feelings" you would be expected to have in order for the government to judge you as being mentally "healthy" is enough to give me the creeping heebie-jeebies.

State sponsorship of psychiatry is already troublesome enough as it is - just imagine what it would be like if the APA decided to add an entry equivalent to "gun nut" to the DSM.
