protect your rights
Contact your legislators now!
At Ruger, our motto is "Arms Makers for Responsible Citizens." It is not just a slogan; it is genuine recognition that millions of law-abiding citizens use our firearms safely and responsibly every day. We are mechanics, doctors, teachers, police officers, firemen, nurses, factory workers, and every other occupation you can name. We are a vast and too-often silent majority ... and our rights are under attack. Make your voice heard too! Given the forces assembling against us, merely relying upon lobbying efforts is insufficient. Law-abiding firearms owners must stand up and be heard. This affects all of us, so we cannot stand idly by and rely upon others to fight on our behalf. Too much is at stake. Step one: Please click on one of the buttons to the right for an easy way to tell your legislators you care about gun rights. The Take Action Now! button allows you to send a prepared email letter quickly and easily. The Find Your Representatives button has detailed contact information for each of your legislators so, if you prefer, you can call them or write them a more personal letter. Step two: Get all your friends to help support our rights; ask them to click on the link and send letters too. Click here to email this web page to your friends. More: Many elected officials have been looking for an opportunity to curtail our gun rights and think they can win now if they move quickly while emotions are high. In Washington D.C. and in state legislatures across the country, anti-gun forces are gathering and conspiring in an effort to pass bad legislation that goes beyond anything we have ever seen. At least one legislature is discussing making public the identity of all pistol permit holders, treatment typically reserved for convicted sex offenders. Reality seems to be lost on these folks. Cities like Washington D.C. and Chicago, with some of the strictest gun laws on the books, are hotbeds of violent crime. Nationally, violent crime involving firearms has declined since the expiration of the Federal "assault weapons ban," while lawful ownership of firearms has increased. More lawful gun ownership, less crime. To help your voice be heard, we have set up this special service on our website. By clicking on the Take Action Now! link, you can contact your legislators. Please act now, before it's too late. http://www.ruger.com/micros/advocacy/#

I do not agree with the positions taken by the NRA on magazine capacity (are 30 rounds necessary?), not supporting background checks for all firearms sales (this seems like a no-brainer, but yet they oppose it), and regulating assault weapons (we don't allow civilians to own machine guns or bazookas/RPGs, so regulations DO exist about defining the types of small arms that are available to the public). I doubt that additional gun control laws will have significant impact in terms of increasing public safety, but reasonable regulations are OK by me. I think the NRA missed a HUGE opportunity after the Connecticut shooting to stem the irrational fears of some gun owners by introducing their own proposals in the interest of public safety that still afford Americans the benefits provided by the 2nd Amendment. Had the NRA offered their own plan, then it wouldn't be the government infringing on the rights of gun owners. Gun control is a polarizing topic, and sadly it seems that reasonable compromise is no longer possible. Which is why it is important to make your voice heard by contacting your Representatives in Washington to let them know where you stand.
