http://www.thegunzone.com/rkba/papabill.htmlI also urge people to try and find "The Ruger Letter", search it on google. Explains his position on support the assault weapon ban.
Aside from his million dollar donation to the NRA Museum, William B. Ruger, Senior, should be remembered as the man who embraced the investment casting process very early on, and whose Pine Tree is one of the most respected investment casting enterprises in the world, the man who gave us the Mini-14, the 10/22 and the first American-made production firearm chambered in 7.62 X 39mm... and the man who told NBC News' Tom Brokaw that:
* "No honest man needs more than 10 rounds in any gun."
* "I never meant for simple civilians to have my 20 or 30 round magazines or my folding stock."
* "I see nothing wrong with waiting periods."
I hope other "simple civilians" have the balls to say NO to anything made by Ruger.
