Bill Ruger has been endlessly slandered in this way ever since. What you don't seem to understand is that his comments were taken out of context by the left wing media and twisted in ways unintended. Few people, even shooters like yourself ever bothered to learn the truth. The truth is that the Clinton administration was actively sponsoring lawsuits designed ONLY to bankrupt the industry and it was working. The AWB was going to pass. Bill Ruger was trying to broker a compromise to save the industry. No good deed goes unpunished as he was slandered in the press, myths were created and perpetuated by people like yourself and the ban passed anyway.
Got it - help me understand this. Are you saying that when Bill Ruger went on the record saying that people like me can't be trusted with guns, he did it with a wink, and that I should have known he didn't really mean it? And that he was assuming the role of a puppetmaster, saying something to assuage a populace in order to actually obtain a more favorable outcome for gun owners? That this was all some master class in poker?
