I'm aware this isn't late breaking news, but this was fowarded to me so I thought I would post it. Go Ruger!!!

Sturm, Ruger rejects Clinton gun controls.
British-owned Smith and Wesson made a deal with the devil when it acceded to President Clinton's demands on how it should manufacture and sell guns, in order to avoid government lawsuits blaming manufacturers for human behavior.
Conversely, Sturm, Ruger & Co., owned by Claremont resident William B. Ruger, bravely told the devil where he could stick his litigation. Sturm, Ruger, which employees 1,200 people in New Hampshire, could have acquiesced to the Clinton administration's strong-arm tactics and won itself a sweetheart deal. In New Hampshire's tradition of liberty, it refused.
Smith & Wesson agreed to built-in trigger locks, a 10-round limit on ammunition capability, and other measures that Second Amendment opponents have deluded themselves into believing will curb violence. (Noticeably absent from the agreement was anything having to do with the presence of evil in the world, the state of the soul, or growing social decay.)
When Smith & Wesson bowed down, the trial attorneys looking to sue gun manufacturers on behalf of the federal and local governments were called off. Local police departments around the country began purchasing more Smith & Wesson products, a payoff promoted by Clinton.
Sturm, Ruger thinks the lawsuits launched against gun manufacturers are unfair and will eventually be defeated. Its willingness to stand up to abusive government tactics is admirable, and should be rewarded by the patronage of gun owners who are vigilant of their rights.
