Sugarmann Still Twisting the Narrative as Anti-Gun Groups Attack Ruger

As Second Amendment supporters, we may not have heard it all, but we sure have heard a lot. And by what I’m speaking about is the bovine excrement served as rhetoric from the anti-civil liberties camp. Josh Sugarmann is about as deceptive as they come concerning verbiage used to damage the Second Amendment. Sugarmann is the force behind so-called “assault weapons,” noting an ignorant public won’t be able to discern the difference between semi-automatic firearms and fully-automatic firearms. Recently Sugarmann went on a deceptive tear against Ruger, and the other anti-civil liberty vultures followed suit – or perhaps coordinated.

Two weeks ago in Lewiston, Maine, we saw once again the horrific price our nation pays as the gun industry relentlessly innovates for lethality—and mass shooters repeatedly use military-bred semiautomatic assault weapons for the exact purpose for which they were designed.

Soon after this most recent attack, the VPC released a 13-page backgrounder on the Ruger assault rifle reportedly used in the shooting, which one gun magazine describes as “easy to carry, fast to the shoulder, and packing the punch of an old school .30-caliber battle rifle.”

The report’s release is just one way in which the VPC continues to focus attention on America’s unregulated gun industry and works to hold it accountable for the deaths and injuries that result from its products.

At the same time, nearly 134 Americans die each day in gun suicides, homicides, and unintentional deaths.

As illustrated above, Sugarmann continues to use the term he coined, “assault weapons” pairing the descriptor with the modifier “military-bred” – whatever that is. The 13 page “backgrounder” referenced is worth a gander if you have the stomach for garbage. The report lists alleged mass shootings that were conducted with Ruger manufactured firearms.

Armed man with AR-15 ARRESTED on Capitol Hill: Cops confirm suspect Ahmir Lavon Merrell, 21, in custody after emergency call from outside congressional offices

U.S. Capitol Police arrested a 21-year-old man with an AR-15 rifle outside the Capitol complex Tuesday afternoon.

Police confirmed that the suspect apprehended on the Senate side of the Capitol was in custody after receiving an emergency call around 12:30 p.m. ET.

‘USCP Officers just arrested a man with a gun in the park across from Union Station. At this time we have no reason to believe there is an ongoing threat,’ Capitol Police wrote on X.

‘We are working to gather more information and will put out more details when they are confirmed,’ continued the post.

An officer told reporters that the ‘man with an AR-15’ was identified as Ahmir Lavon Merrell. Police do not believe that he had a particular motive or target.

However, Chief Tom Manger said ‘the fact that he was on Capitol grounds, is a concern.’

According to videos from the scene, the suspect – a black man wearing a bright orange sweat suit – was loaded into an ambulance. Police said the man was tased following a standoff with an officer before being arrested.

The man was spotted in handcuffs with his hair and beard full of leaves following his capture. Merrell is from Atlanta, Georgia, and a registered sex offender who has mental health challenges, according to reports.
