Frankly I am amazed that it took them this long to find about it.
Bill Ruger was a great gun designer and manufacturer, but he was a treasonous f*** to Gun Owners. He was an old school businessman that expected to save his company from the impending legislation that ended up being the Assault Weapons Ban by feeding the wolves a small part of his business body and everybody else’s full bodies with the belief that they would leave him alone and continue business as usual. He greatly miscalculated in several fronts: The political wolves are never satisfied and they will keep wanting more. Almost all other firearm manufacturers stopped being competitors (in the stupid way) and joined forces to fight the common enemy. And his customers turned against him and the brand.

It took the company over a decade to recover from such a gigantic misstep. The new board of directors had to pretty much convince the public that they had no relationship with the old man Ruger and still to this day, many Gun Owners refuse to buy Ruger products.

Possibly the greatest insult hurled at Ruger was at a gun show I was attending around the year 2000 or so. At one table there were selling a Mini-14 (the specific gun which made Bill Ruger write his letter to Congress) for a fairly decent price but nobody gave it a care. There were two other guys perusing the offerings and one pointed the Mimi-14 to his friend who said “I rather buy a turd than a Mini-14.” Sales of the Min1-14 never recovered and the new Ruger corporation moved to build its own version of the AR to compete in the long gun market.

In the video, Erich Pratt explains why Connecticut’s new gun law will be ineffective. He is wrong.

Why is he wrong? We know Gun Control is not about lowering the “gun violence” but control of people in general and law-abiding people specifically.  The law will work as it was intended from the beginning and that is to restrict firearm’s access to the People and the limitation of their Second Amendment Rights. Except maybe for a couple of truly vapor-brain legislators, those who supported the law know damn well it will not bring down crime or murders, just the opposite and that will give them an excuse to pass new and more restrictive laws so they can acquire more power and money at the cost of your life.

Power is intoxicating and we basically hire addicts to the positions of power. It is like assigning junkies to guard the DEA’s evidence warehouse.

(PS: And yes, I know Pratt is selling a point to the uninformed masses)

The woman told police the would-be robber said to her at gunpoint, “No disrespect, but I have to take those from you,” as he grabbed the family’s cell phones. Unbeknownst to the robber, the woman’s husband was standing nearby, and he had a gun. The suspect pointed his gun at the husband, who then discharged his own gun, striking the robber in the leg. “The husband, who was right there, took his gun and shot,” the witness said.

Bad guy decides to rob family at gunpoint at a fast food joint at lunchtime. According to the Gun Control “experts” using a firearm for self-defense in a case like this will only create many more innocent victims.

As usual, the “experts” are wrong.

The sad case of fur four people killed in on I-95 shows how upside down our world has become. Convicted felon & fugitive/absconder Willie Dumel chose not to stop his vehicle for a traffic stop by an Opa-locka cop. Willie Dumel chose to recklessly drive through busy streets, chose to get in I-95 the wrong way trying to shake the cop off while endangering Lord knows how many people. Willie Dumel finally crashed into a mini-van killing its four occupants.

So who is at fault here? Apparently the cop giving chase is the one that killed the four occupants of the mini-van if we were to follow what the media and the usual bash-cops-for-no-reason-community activists are saying.

Opa-Locka PD is far from the best departments out there. It has almost the reputation of NOLA PD and that will be used in the sure-to-happen civil suit. But the choice of acting is such way as to put people in danger rests solely on Willie Dumel, but he is just probably a victim of society’s injustice or some similar inane drivel.

Way way back then when the world was in Black & White and people wore togas, King Pyrrhus had it on against the Romans in battle and won. But the win was basically that the Romans had no soldiers left and King Pyrrhus had about 5 still standing somewhat and not in the greatest of shape. Seeing this, legend tell us that the Monarch uttered “If I win like this again, I’ll be royally screwed” or words to that effect. And he was right, at the next confrontation he got his butt kicked back home in a chariot. Ever since the term Pyrrhic victory denotes a battle won that will lead to losing the war.

Maryland enacted a whole bunch of gun control legislation and State Gun Control advocates are dancing for joy. As they jig and tap, Beretta USA announces they are leaving the State alongside 400 jobs, $31 million in taxes and investments over $73 million. Besides producing guns for the Civilian Market, Beretta is also fulfilling a contract for the U.S. Military for the M9 sidearm and if I recall correctly, it was for 500,000 units. That means a steady income from both sides of the fence that Maryland legislators just sent to another state thanks to legislation that will do zilch in curbing violence.

Of course that means that the Maryland Legislature will have to make up for loss revenue (both the one from Beretta and the indirect from the business servicing the company and employees) and be ready to take those people who were benefiting on Beretta’s work and that will now be enjoying unemployment benefits and assorted welfare. I guess taxes will be raised to make up for the difference.

Elections have consequences.
