I know these two gun manufacturors both supported and advocated passage of Bill Clinton's gun control laws and both companies were boycotted heavily by Americans who dissagreed with their support of more and more gun controls.
Most of the worst Clinton laws sunset during the Bush#2 years and they were quietly allowed to expire without fanfare. I believe these included the ban on new manufacture and sale of ammo magazines over 10 rounds, and the ban against so-called assault weapons (black semi-automatic rifles with carry handles).
I think a few other Clinton gun laws, like a ban on so-called cop killer bullets, are still in effect; right?
Anyway, I have not purchased any Ruger or S&W guns since 1990 and I just wondered if the ban was still ocurring by the American public in practice. I think Bill Ruger died in 2005 but I assume the same old management is still in place. ...not sure about S&W, but I think they were bought by private equity several years ago.
Thanks....
Frankly, it is too bad there is not more competiion for S&W and Ruger from other American manufacturers.
Thanks
