In fact, the member is incorrect. It is against the law to sell firearms to an unlicensed individual. There is a penalty of up to five years for that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2595464\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member knows that and yet he makes that kind of a statement.</p>",

En r\u00e9alit\u00e9, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a tort. La loi interdit de vendre des armes \u00e0 feu \u00e0 une personne sans permis. Il y a une peine maximale de cinq ans pour cela.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2595464\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 le sait fort bien, mais il n'en fait pas moins ce genre d'affirmations.</p>"
