Dr. Ruger is Co-Director of the Yale/World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Health Promotion, Policy and Research and an Interdisciplinary Research Methods Core Investigator for the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS. She has authored numerous theoretical and empirical studies on the equity and efficiency of health system access, financing, resource allocation, policy reform and the social determinants of health. These contributions are unified by an overarching interest in equity and disparities in health and health care, focusing on vulnerable and impoverished populations, especially those with addictions. Her work has been published in Lancet; American Journal of Public Health; British Medical Journal; Quarterly Journal of Medicine; Academic Emergency Medicine; Yale Journal of Law and the Humanities; Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health; Health Affairs; and Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law.

The only lasting impact of Ruger's governorship was the convict lease system. Citing an 1866 provision giving discretionary powers to governors, Ruger initiated two such programs that would set precedence for future administrations. On July 4, 1868, Ruger left the governorship after Rufus Bullock, Georgia's first elected Republican governor, was inaugurated.

Bill Ruger introduced the first Red Label in 1977, again bucking tradition by bringing out the 20 gauge first, when everybody knew that you had to start with the most popular twelve gauge to succeed. Instead of building a 12 gauge pump or automatic, Ruger started with a 20 gauge over-and-under, with a unique design that is both elegant and bull-strong. Ruger now builds the Red Label on three different size frames, each to specifically accommodate either the twelve, twenty, or twenty-eight gauge. The Red Label is the easiest-opening shotgun on the market, right out of the box. Again, this is due to the advanced thinking and design of the shotgun. At a time when other American shotgun makers can’t seem to find an over-and-under design that will sell, the Red Label has become a classic that is still going strong.

The Ruger .45 Blackhawk was the first .45 Colt that could utilize the case capacity of the .45 Colt cartridge efficiently. And it is at its best with the big 300 grain bullets from BRP, NEI, or RCBS. Again it is not a .44 Magnum. The .44 will easily do 1300-1400 feet per second with 300 grain bullets; the .45 Colt is better suited to 1100-1200 feet per second with the same weight bullets.

The ability of Ruger to produce superior products at a lower price is again due to the remarkable foresight of Bill Ruger in pioneering the use of investment castings in the manufacturing of firearms. While his competitors were, and some still are, working with rough forgings and old machinery, Ruger was producing almost-finished parts from high quality investment castings. Ruger has proven the strength of castings throughout the years by using the process in the manufacture high-stress gun parts such as receivers and bolt heads.
