The old man died... changing of hats. Ruger "should" head back i the right direction now. "Top Tier" (whatever that means) maybe not, but a fairly solid firearm to start with. Hell, I don't even have a dog in this hunt. Sure I find the developments interesting, but I have no immediate plans to by the 556.
I didn't touch on the politics of his post... hooray for repealing the machine bun ban, but institute more "checks"? Not good business. I'm now in Gov't. I can tell you, the ONLY thing "gun" legislation does is slow the possession of fire arms to the law abiding citizens. The vast majority of firearms used in really bad crimes ARE NOT registered!
Remember, the Founding Fathers reason for the 2nd Amendment... to combat tyranny. Sadly, when people discuss the 2nd Amendment, the opponents erroneously think it was meant to stand alone... it HAS a preamble:
"...But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security..."
— John Hancock
