Can anyone translate the article and paste it here I can’t seem to figure out google translate. It would be appreciated to see what a bunch of liberal French think of the sale. I think it’s awesome that the sale made news. Lol
I'm not proof-reading it, but there it is!
A widespread rumor by the Pro-Arms lobby that the Trudeau government is preparing to ban AR-15 assault weapons has led to a surge in sales of these types of firearms across Canada in recent days. , say different sources.
Sold in Canada with significant restrictions, the AR-15 is the most common firearm in the United States, where it has been implicated in many killings.
"For two weeks, it's hell! We sold 75% of our AR-15 inventory, "says Jonathan Bastien of the Montreal Gun Center, a Montreal armory.
"We are talking about increases of 30 to 40% in the last two weeks," said Daniel Blanchette, owner of the DanChasse store in the Quebec City area.
"People do not know what the Trudeau government is going to do. They do not know if they will still have the right to own that weapon, if it will become prohibited. We keep our inventories close to zero because we do not want to pick ourselves up with a model that we will not be able to sell on the market, "added Mr. Blanchette.
On May 9, while Bill C-71 strengthening gun control was under consideration in the Senate, independent MP Tony Clement said in the House that he learned from "a very good source" that the government Trudeau had a "secret plan" to ban AR-15s. "The Prime Minister plans to announce this ban at the Women Deliver conference in Vancouver, during the visit of New Zealand Premier Jacinda Ardern, from June 3 to 6," said Clément during the meeting. question period.
Marie-Emmanuelle Cadieux, spokeswoman for the Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction, Bill Blair, denied yesterday that there would be such an announcement next week. In a statement sent to La Presse , however, the minister's office indicated that "all possibilities are studied". "Assault rifles are military weapons designed to kill humans, not animals, in the most efficient way possible to maximize mortalities with minimal effort," the statement said.
Despite the vagueness maintained by the Trudeau government since the release of Tony Clement, the Shooting Sports Association of Canada and its director, Tony Bernardo, spread this rumor.
"[The rumor] has triggered a buying frenzy for the AR-15s. The stocks of most retailers are dry in Western Canada. "
- Tony Bernardo, Director of the Shooting Sports Association of Canada
"The rumor of banishment may be true, maybe not. Who knows ? One thing is certain, people do not want to risk being excluded from this category of weapons. They buy them to be sure they can take advantage of a [grandfathering] clause, "he adds.
The pro-gun lobby vehemently opposes a ban on AR-15s, noting that they have never served in mass killings in Canada since their sale is more framed than in the United States.
15% discount
In particular, the SFRC Weapons Store in Ontario launched a "C-71 sale" on Wednesday offering a 15% discount to anyone who buys a firearm online by next Tuesday. "We do not know exactly what the Liberals plan to ban next week. We are pretty sure it will be the AR-15s, but there are strong rumors of all handguns and semi-automatic weapons too. Make sure you have acquired rights, "reads the Facebook page of the store.

Two Quebec sports shooters who regularly participate in competitions said they ordered AR-15s in anticipation of a possible prohibition. "I bought two," said Tommy Gervais, a shooter from the Quebec City area, who already owns two more. The possible banishment precipitated my decision. If it happens, we do not even know if we will still be able to buy replacement parts. "
"I ordered one the day before yesterday," says Gabriel Pasquier. This will be my third of the same brand. It's getting harder to find online, lots of retailers are running out. People are afraid that handguns will be banned as well. "
" It's scandalous "
"It's scandalous," says Heidi Rathjen, spokesperson for PolySeSouvient, an organization that promotes arms control. We've been to the United States, where when it comes to better control, the gun lobby is using this opportunity to increase sales, profits and increase the pool of assault weapon owners. "
According to the Washington Post , rifle production more than doubled in 2016 in the United States, largely because of a fear that Democrats would ban semi-automatic weapons if they were elected.
A study published in May 2017 in the medical journal Annals of Internal Medicine indicates that gun sales increased by 35 to 85% in some areas after the killings of Newton and San Bernardino. The author of the study, David Studdert, believes that the fear caused by these killings largely explains the surge in sales.

My work blocks translators, but it's easy enough:
https://www.bing.com/translator?ref=...&from=fr&to=en
Enter the URL in the box on the left, a link will appear on the right and you should be good to go.
So for a little context, Heidi Rathjen is Quebec's Wendy Cukier.
The interesting part is how they practically point everyone in the direction of SFRC. It's like "Here's where the deals are". It doesn't happen often that a retailer (of anything, not just guns) get a free mention for a sale in a mainstream newspaper article. It's like Ryan has friends in the Montreal's newspaper.
Just use Edge, Explorer or Safari. The issue you fixed but it may take a little bit for google to update the status. We forward the .ca website we used to use to the .com one we use now and google no longer likes the way it was done. All is good.
Ryan
Awesome, thanks. Time to go shopping...
