"Ruger pistols and revolvers have distinguished themselves worldwide as the bellwether of value and design, construction, and reliability. All Ruger firearms are the product of American invention and skilled craftsmanship wedded to super-efficient Ruger manufacturing methods, all of which gave you world class quality at affordable prices." (quote from the ruger home page) I agree. Ruger has been making fine firearms for fifty years. I always look to ruger first.
Gun control is a hot political issue right now. The American public should ask why. In 1976 Washington D.C. enacted a virtual ban on handguns. By 1991 the homicide rate had tripled! New York City,Chicago, Los Angeles and D.C. all have very restrictive gun laws. These cities make up only 5% of the U.S. population, yet account for 13% of murders.(FBI) Is banning handgun sales at gun shows with more restrictive gun control laws going to change anything? The gun control idiots promised that the Brady Bill was the answer. They lied. The answer lies in enforcement. The gun control laws on the books right now make it a serious federal crime punishable by long prison terms for any violent felon or drug dealer who even picks up a gun. People. It is time to tell the U.S. Senate that we are no longer going to buy their, flimflam sound byte get me elected again crap. e-mail your senator U.S. Senate and tell them to enforce the gun laws on the books. Ask about Project Exile. This project reduced the murder rate in Richmond Virginia by almost 33% using gun laws already on the books. If you get back some cheesy form letter ask the national riffle association about Project Exile national rifle association
Second Amendment To The US Constitution
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
Department of Justice survey found that 40% of felons chose not to commit at least some crimes for fear that their victims were armed.(James D .Wright, Peter H. Rossi, )"Armed and Considered Dangerous")
My first brand new handgun was a ruger . This is a ruger .357 magnum
Security-Six revolver.
Thanks to the quality of construction that is Bill Ruger's trade mark it still shoots like it did some 25 years ago. Only immanent attack would stop me from using ear plugs with this gun. IT IS LOUD! It is a real good idea to wear ear plugs with any gun. Over time even a .22 pistol will cause hearing loss.
This
is a ruger auto pistol. The ruger p89DC 9 mm. I bought it when I was
absolutely sure that I would never switch from a wheel gun. I was
wrong! The gun is fitted with hogue grips and is a delight to shoot.
