Just chucked in another $100.
I've said it before but I believe if you are only going to get behind one challenge (things aren't exactly booming right now in Canada with everything that is going on so its understandable) then I would choose this one.
Reasons?
1) ATRS is a home grown Canadian company.
2) ATRS products are first class. Ive seen the gear in the flesh and it is quality.
3) ATRS are active members of the firearms communities / sport and have supported various events I have been to (Yes ATRS, we do notice and I for one consider such things when making purchases. I support those that support the sport I enjoy).
4) You don't have to look too far on this forum to see they stand over their products and will make things right no questions asked if something didn't roll off the production line in perfect condition.
5) ATRS had / have an FRT that should have excluded their products from the Turd Reichs OIC without question. Such things don't fall out of the sky. They put a lot of time and effort into making this happen then the same folks that gave them the nod quietly stab them in the back behind the scenes with no fear of repercussions. Meanwhile ATRS has their business wiped out with the stroke of a pen by some faceless, spineless bureaucrat. Think about that for a second. Wrong - on multiple levels.
6) What is being debated in this action is applicable to a heap more products than simply ATRSs. There have been many firearms prohibited via FRT changes (legality of this document is questionable but guaranteed cops will air on the side of caution and you'll get dragged through a lengthy expensive legal process at minimum) and I would imagine a win for ATRS would go a long way to setting a precedent for other similar firearms.
With all this in mind I don't understand how there hasn't been more donated?
