Going back to Mr. Ruger, I have met a few celebrities or otherwise famous folks during the course of my careers. I generally don't get star struck but it was very cool to meet Bill Ruger. To me, he was what America is all about. He had an idea, and along with the late Alexander Sturm, he put it into action and provided a very well made, American product.
I have to agree that I don't think he would be too thrilled about this development or the direction that his company has taken. Some of it is survival and sign of the times for sure, but I don't think he would be happy about it.
