It amazes me how people will put silly limits on what guns they purchase

And I still cannot fathom owning something that looks and feels so poorly made
.
Lots of people will say that a silly limit is how a gun "looks" and "feel". I happen to think how a gun performs is the best indicator of quality.
I have a Kel Tec PF9 with easily 2500 or so rounds through it in the last 9 months I have owned it. It goes bang every time, handle everything I feed it (including reloads), and is very accurate. I will say it is not very pretty to look at and the blueing has worn ALOT, but it works and works well. To me that is a quailty firearm. I also have a Kel Tec P3AT. It only has 200 rounds but performs perfectly.
, I can agree with you that they are crude looking. But, in my opinion, no other company in their price range offers nearly as good of a product. I assume one reason they can offer the product at the price they do is because they do not put emphasis on looks. My next firearm is probably going to be a kel tec P11. Mainly because I can feel confident that I am going to get a gun that works and works well. It is innovative since I really can't find another double stack 9 that is as small and lightwieght (I guess if I give Ruger a little while that will change
) and best of all I can get one out the door new for $250.....can't beat that.
I honestly am not trying to be rude, but you seem to have gone out of your way to slam Kel Tec.
Also I am a huge Ruger Fan. I currently have 12 handguns and 8 are Rugers, but I have to admit the LCP is a P3AT copy. I have no problem with it though. They took Kel Tec's gun and made it look better and added a saftey. It offers a little more for a little more money, but they hardly took a blank sheet of paper when they started it.
And as far as the OP goes. I am 35 years old, so I was not into handguns or politics when the statment was made. The way I see it is, if a GUN MANUFACTOR was against the gun rights of idividuals and basically against the 2nd admendment, they probably would not be a very sucessfull GUN MANUFACTOR. Ruger seems to be slightly sucessfull, so I can safely assume they do not have a problem with my gun rights. So I buy Rugers. They seem to offer the best product in my favorite category (revolvers), so I buy more Rugers than anything else.
