Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Every Town for Gun Safety targeting Ruger's RXM pistol?

Every Town for Gun Safety is targeting the Ruger RXM pistol because its internal trigger geometry is similar to designs previously targeted, which they claim can be easily modified with inexpensive conversion devices to fire fully automatic.

What is the 'cruciform trigger bar' and why is it controversial?

The cruciform trigger bar is a component in Glock-style designs. Anti-gun groups argue its shape allows it to be interrupted by small illegal aftermarket devices, commonly called switches or auto sears, enabling the pistol to cycle as a machine gun.

What strategies are anti-gun groups using against firearms manufacturers?

Anti-gun groups are using a combination of state legislation (like California's Glock ban), lawsuits alleging design defects, and public pressure campaigns to force manufacturers to change designs or withdraw products from the market.

What are the potential consequences of this pressure campaign for gun owners and the industry?

Consequences may include product shortages, model retirements, reduced consumer choice, and a push towards proprietary designs. There could also be lengthy legal battles impacting ownership and transfers of firearms.
