Anyone still buying CZ anymore?

Here some business you should boycott

Mark Carney, as Prime Minister of Canada, doesn't "own" businesses in the traditional sense but holds investments and assets, mainly via a trust, including major stakes in US giants like Chevron, ExxonMobil, Home Depot, Walmart, Coca-Cola, Starbucks,()and also has options in Brookfield & Stripe from past roles, with disclosures showing diverse interests in Energy, Tech (Alphabet, Amazon), Finance, and more, managed under strict ethics rules to avoid conflict with his public office.

“Strict ethics rules”. Yeah. Because as PM with someone else managing his portfolio, he has forgotten where his stock options are, and his core portfolio content.

I mean he is old… maybe he’s forgetful?
 
At the gun show in Victoria a short time ago, there was an out of province dealer selling his CZ stock off at a discount of I think it was 20% off . Said he had e mailed CZ and told them he would no longer purchase any of their items due to their involvement in the firearm destruction program. By the number of new firearms he had laid out on the tables ( and boxes stacked in his area ) , it appeared he was a fairly good buyer for CZ to lose business from ( at least in Canada ). He did say CZ had never replied to him about his concerns. Rick
 
Its probably a complicated business arrangement being a commercial and military firearm manufacturer like that in Canada.
We don't buy enough commerical products to make an impact, government contracts are disgustingly lucrative for them, if they have to choose, commercial will get the #### end of the stick.
Look how long Diemaco/Colt survived on zero commercial sales here previously.

In Canada, yes. In the states it’s maybe different.

Some Americans are sympathetically boycotting them too, which probably gives them more concern than Canadian boycotts.

I have an enjoy lots of older or used CZ firearms. That company will never get another dime out of me on anything retail. Ever.

Traitors must pay.

Of course, if they fess up to what they did without weasel words, cancel all buyback related contracts and publicly explain that AND vow to never support a LPC government ever again - also publicly - then maybe I will reconsider.

To the people saying "why punish yourself" - give your head a shake. CZ is VERY far from the only maker of decent bolt action rifles selling stuff in Canada. Support your allies - dummies.

I see it this way too.

If everyone keeps buying then Colt / CZs anti gun actions have no negative repercussions. In essence you are saying "You shafted me but I am weak - please continue".

Unfortunately, the entire Cdn market isn't as big as pretty much any one state down south, so, it's really only a bit of gravy for them. We can get all huffy and up in arms over it all we want, it really doesn't mean diddly squat to them. Gov't /LEO contracts in Cda are likely worth more than the retail stuff overall, as they usually involve maintenance, parts, accessories that the retail market doesn't, as a packaged product. They'll sell more in one product, in one sale, than 50 civilians will buy of 10 different products to make the same money. Who in Cda is buying Colt anything other than the gov't? What do they or CZ really offer in Cda that the civilian markets wants, or that can be sold in Cda? What you bought, is bought already, what retailers want to buy from them, is pretty limited. The 600's, the 457's and maybe a few shotguns. The shotguns are all Turkish imports, plenty of those around that are cheaper. Plenty of competition on the rifles by what appears to be some pretty good stuff, maybe better than what CZ offers. And the bulk of the population, doesn't really care.

I sense you don't fully understand why that is the case.

He, along with Epps and wolverine are on the board of csaaa (or whatever the acronym is). They voted against gun owners on an issue. He tried to wait out the fallout but made the mistake of self incriminating himself numerous times. At least Epps has been consistent in his position on the issue, I can at least respect that.

"Yes, we should stop buying American products and not do business with stores that stock American products. I have and others should consider doing it too!"

It's the same posturing and virtue signalling as the "elbows up" clowns when it comes to America and Trump.

I'm not helping put a Canadian gun store out of business because they sell CZ products.

Not an accurate depiction.

Are there stores out there that only sell CZ? I am not aware of any.

Because if they sell other brands (viable non traitorous alternatives to CZ) then their business will not suffer from my perspective.

Americans have much more clout owing to a much bigger market but the Americans boycotting (good for them) are also doing it for themselves so they don't become like us.

Meanwhile some folks here are happy to purchase a gun from company which is helping the government steal some of their other guns.

They scattered like cockroaches when the light is turned on.

If they had played their cards right and been straightforward about their situation, rather than hiding and playing dumb once it was discovered, I believe most of us would have understood their difficult position. I empathize with their need to sell their the inventory that has been sitting there for a couple of years for the best possible price, but i can't support the path that they took.
