In a very big way, the nation's largest gun manufacturer, the
manufacturer's largest distributor, gun owners, and the NRA are going to
be working together to get America moving in the right direction on
Election Day 2016.
NRA's American Rifleman membership magazine
reports that
for every new Ruger rifle, handgun and shotgun bought between the 2015
and 2016 NRA Annual Meetings, Ruger is donating $2 to the NRA Institute
for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA). Additionally, Ruger's largest
distributor, Davidson's, is donating $1 for every Ruger that it sells.
Ruger says that its goal is to donate $4 million to ILA, which over the
next 17 months will be educating and activating Second Amendment
supporters in the crucial 2016 elections. "The most important aspect in
this cooperative effort between Ruger and NRA is that, coming out of the
2016 elections, we end up with a Congress and a president who respect
and support our rights to own and use firearms," said the company's CEO,
Mike Fifer. Progress of Ruger's new campaign can be tracked on the
2015-16 Two Million Gun Challengepage of the
Ruger.com website.
