Same with Smith and Wesson in the 2000's when they were owned by British company Tomkins. They sold S&W back to 'Merica a year later for 1/10th the price Tomkins paid for it. Go Woke, Go Broke. Even in-especially in- gunland.Remember what Bill Ruger Sr. was advocating back in 1989 after the shooting at Luby's cafeteria in Killeen, TX?
He was calling for the banning of high capacity magazines, as well as the licensing and registration of firearms.
He did that in the hopes of winning a contract from the California Highway Patrol.
It was almost 30 years before I bought another Ruger. I only did so because Bill Ruger Sr. is dead and the company he ran is not the same one it was before.
Note: I have only purchased a Ruger American Rimfire rifle and the Mark IV Anniversary model pistol. Both firearms have undergone an extensive makeover.
I don't think a boycott of Ruger was ever started but it should have been done.
