Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ruger to drop the SR-556

Agree with that.

On second thought.......

I'd rather Ruger decide not to make the SR-556 than the government. If it's all about freedom, then they should be free to sell what they want.

At least it doesn't chip away at 2A, just their market share...

Comradette Laurenski,
Come on by Dherzhinski Square, we have some vodka for you.

Anybody seen anything one way or the other about Ruger?

[quote=dogcatcher223]I know a cop who is actually stressing about all this. He told a friend that they are scared they are going to be told to go round up certain guns. He said the whole force will quit, because he isn't taking a bullet over this.[/quote

Actually a few of our guys were talking about that with the capt. Tonight at roll call. I think 90% of the dept owns atleast one aR platform, I have two. My doublestar, m4. And a rock river Fred eichler, that I use to hunt predators....sh don't tell that to the senator who said noone hunts with an AR. Our capts words to us were that should an order ever come like that it is our jobs to uphold the constituion of the United States.

I just got butchered by a doctor today , Im in a lot of pain but alcohol and pain killers help. You sir just made me LMFAO.

Hope everything is OK.

I have a friend who bought a SR-556 when they were first released. He is pissed because he has been to 3 gunshows and can't get half what he paid for it.

As far as the Mini 14 goes its crude when compared to an AR-15. They were not bad when you could buy one for $350.

And I hope his next words were: to go and arrest those in government willing to impose such an illegal act.

Exactly! And may I add that Colt or Ruger were never our friends in the gun rights fight.

If you don't think our enemies haven't learned anything from the last AWB, you are sadly mistaken or stupid.

Diane Feinswine was on the Sunday morning talking heads show speaking about how she had been working on a new AWB bill for over the last year, waiting fopr the right time to file it.

Now you have to ask your self what was the right time to file in her mind? Contingent on Obama's reelection? Or perhaps a deep enough pool of blood to dance around in? In either case, she has gotten her "right time" and the battle is going to get ugly.

You can also bet that she has probably enlisted the help of traitorous advisors who actually know guns to help her out on the wording and you can also be that magazines and cosmetic features aren't going to be the only thing affected by her proposed bill. It will also address function which was what the enemy camp was later disappointed about over the bill when it finally went into effect.

And to all you treasonous, elitist [bleep]' Fudds out there that are ready to throw us under the bus, just remember that your precious bolt-action hunting rifles were the the assault weapons of their day and that every advancement made in firearms technology was motivated by military need and application.

So you need to decide now whether you are going to stand with us to defend all gun rights or you aere going to let us twist in the breeze. Because you can bet your ass that as soon as the precedent has been set for a ban on one class of firearms, they'll come after your's next.

Good for him.

Back then, $350 was worth about $1500 in today's dollars.

Absolutely right.

TRH, I have to say I agree with a few things in here you have said, and i think that means I.need a vacation.

I am going to call them tomorrow and voice my concerns.

It does chip away at the second amendment in a sense; Ruger is basically throwing in the towel and giving the Anti's a walk to first base. It makes Ruger look like they were doing something wrong or manufacturing a rifle not suitable for anyone except mass murderers. It's a very stupid move, but I guess they are trying to stop the drop in share prices for their stock.

Not to mention that Ruger is also based in CT.

Time to send emails....

I was gonna buy an SP101 for CCW, but if this turns out to be true, I won't be giving Ruger any of my money.

agreed!
