Canada retailer stops selling products linked to US gunmaker

Canadian outdoor outfitter Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) said Thursday it will stop selling outdoor sports items made by brands owned by a US company that also sells assault-style rifles. MEC does not sell guns, but it does carry binoculars, water bottles and other gear made by Utah-based Vista Outdoor, which earns half of its revenues from sales of guns and ammunition, including a weapon similar to the one used in the Florida shooting. MEC said it faced pressure from five million co-op members after the Florida shooting to drop all Vista Outdoor brand items.
