Gun makers selling out

[mlevans66]

How many gun makers sold out? I read about Ruger and I just read about S&W but just how many sold out to save there butts? When reading I noticed all kinds of things from backing the Clinton gun band to accepting 10 rnds mags as the norm. Is there anyone else that sold out I should know about? Here's some links

In the 1850s, Colt sold out by making revolvers which only held 6 rounds.

Understand that Bill Ruger, the man who sold us out to the government, is now dead and his company is doing everything in its power to undo what he did. They're back to making factory standard-cap magazines, CCW pistols, AR-15s, etc... Under Bill Ruger they weren't doing any of that.

Hey I get it. I just got a Ruger Scout and I own a GP100 (AWSOME GUN!) and I own a couple of Smiths but I read about them selling out and it reminded me of GE's Jeffery Immelt.

OOOoh....... you mean SELL OUTS not sold out. I thought you were bringing us good news as in gun sellers were selling so many guns that they were sold out of guns.

As for gun maker sell outs, Bill Ruger always comes to mind.

Nooooo I don't think anyone sells out of a product. Though that would be interesting. As for Bill I was not aware of that till about a month or two ago. I still love my Rugers!

Yes. Somewhere buried deep and hidden inside all these evil companies is an effort to work within the pathetic legislative process AND turn a profit. If you don't like how a particular manufacturer is being run the answer is simple. Raise the cash to buy them out and run it yourself. It would be interesting to see your business plan

Wait are you referring to me? Look I don't care I just didn't know. I understand why they do it to survive I just would like to know who's done it. I'm sure others have I just find it funny when they do.

What a non-business person calls "selling out" might be "survival" to an actual business person

True but I still think it funny. I mean making all those rules for selling your guns to suck up to gungrabbers was just plain funny. I wonder how much business they loose? I mean they made a come back of course because I own a couple of there guns but I'm just glad I was collecting and paying attention around those times. I'm sure someone else will cater to the gun grabber again. Someone big like Colt or Remington and they'll only sell guns on odd number days or something.

Are you refering to shady dealings of a particular investment house buying literally every gun manufacturer they can get they're hands on and that soon, virtually all firearm production will be controlled by a handful of people?

Some of the most popular guns are made in countries that have tyranical gun laws. Americans are happy to buy them and some of that profit goes to those nations.

My new Ruger came with NRA literature.
My new S&W came with NRA literature.
