Or won't buy a Ruger to this very day, because of Bill Ruger's comments regarding Hi-Capacity magazines. Forget the fact the man has been dead for the last
15 years. Or the fact there is no one left employed by that company with the last name of Ruger any longer.
I'd typically agree, but if SA directly funds and continues to fund an organization that makes it more expensive and difficult for me to purchase firearms, the least I can do is vote with my wallet, at least while there are other options out there. If they drop the support or change there stance, I won't hold a grudge.

Springfield just lost my support.
Yep. I just purchased an EMP4 a few weeks ago. As an Illinois resident, I'm extra salty. I've always wanted an M1A as well, not likely going to happen anymore.
I would look into a James River Armory M14 then. It is a bit more, but it is also built a bit better.
Thanks! If/when I'm looking to buy, I'll take a look at it. I'm still holding out for CMP to get that batch of Garands.
