2001年 2001年 kettner 在法的最大枪械店开业触发抗议
－－－－－－BBC中文网驻法国记者
法国最大的打猎用品店，2001年 1月12日 在首都巴黎的郊区开业，引起附近居民抗议，这除了是因为该区治安向来欠佳外，国内近期更不断发生枪杀事件。
这家打猎店开业为居民带来沉重的心理负担。
此店名为KETTNER，位于巴黎南面九一省的歌尔贝爱宋市，全店面积一千二百平方米，提供三百种武器和二万件打猎用品，包括步枪、子弹和匕首。
一百多名歌尔贝市居民周五齐集在店门外，抗议它的开张。
就在两个月前，附近一名十四岁少年男子被人用步枪打死。媒体形容当地是坏分子联群结党和贩卖违禁品的地区。
部分居民还发动中学生签名运动，反对该店经营。歌尔贝爱宋市有一万多居民。
政治工具
政客们也利用这个店来互相攻击。爱宋共党市议员皮尔奥表示，居民长期以来希望在这里有一家食品超级市场，而不是武器店。环保党人士形容它为"死亡物品店"。
歌尔贝右派共和联盟市长达素反驳说，坏分子不是只在此店才找到武器，而且这个公司创造了二十多个职位，为该市每年带来一百五十万法郎的商业税收，相等于二十万美元。
该店经理苏瓦利则认为，政客们利用他们作斗争工具，因为还有数月便是市议会选举。
KETTNER公司主席密埃亦反驳，真正要用枪的坏人不会亲自来买枪，因此他们的所在位置根本不会煽动暴力活动。此店附近一些商号更希望KETTNER为他们带来新客人。
法国近日发生多起枪杀事件，两名警察被一名在逃杀人犯击毙；现款解款员工作时遇害；以至童党仇杀，这家全国最大的打猎用品店，对公众带来心理压力是可以理解的。
－－－－Gun shop opens near scene of shooting
Rival demonstrations this weekend greeted the opening of a large hunting shop selling rifles in a tough Parisian suburb menaced by gang violence.
Local groups protested outside a new branch of Eduard Kettner's, France's largest hunting accessory retailers, only two months after a 14-year-old boy was killed with a shotgun nearby as the result of a feud between rival gangs.
But nearly 50 hunters, organised by the pro-hunting CPNT party (which stands for Chasse, Peche, Nature, et Tradition; or Hunting, Fishing, Nature and Tradition) gathered to give their support to the shop's arrival at the Tarterets housing estate in Corbeil-Essonnes, south of Paris.
More than 400 guns, mostly hunting rifles, have been put on sale at the store.
Communist and Green politicians joined with a newly-established youth group called Civil Peace and other local groups to demonstrate outside the store.
The Tarterets estate, like many high-rise estates on the outskirts of Paris, has a bad reputation in France. Street gangs frequently settle their disputes with guns and police have been attacked with stones.
In November a 14-year-old boy called Romuald was shot dead a few yards from his flat in the nearby suburb of Courconnes. He had become caught up in the gang warfare between young men living in adjoining housing estates.
After a boy from one gang was attacked by a group of 15 adolescents, a revenge expedition was launched. Romuald, who was not a member of either gang, was shot twice with a shotgun from a parked car and later died of his injuries.
Demonstrators opposing the opening of the Kettner's store argued that it could only exacerbate problems on the estate. "This shop, which has been opened right opposite the Robert-Doisneau high school in the middle of Tarterets is an incitement to violence," said Jacques Czutach, vice-president of Civil Peace. "At least two kids have been shot dead around here recently."
The Greens have called the shop a "drugstore of death", while the Communist mayoral candidate for Corbeil-Essonnes, Bruno Piriou, said: "The inhabitants of Tarterets have been waiting for years for the return of shops that they actually need, like food stores. Instead, they get a giant armoury.
"At a time marked by a rise in people using guns to settle feuds, poisoning everyday life in our area, opening a shop likes this with more than 400 guns is a real provocation."
But the director of the store, Jean-Richard Servary, said: "We've been taken hostage by politicians a few months before the municipal elections."
He estimated that only four per cent of Kettner's stores, including the new one in Corbeil-Essonnes, are devoted to guns, and that arms sales represented only 20 per cent of the firm's takings. The rest of the shop is given over to hunting accessories such as binoculars, compasses and knives, as well as clothes and shoes.
South of Tarterets is the ancient royal hunting forest of Fontainebleau, once used by kings and still popular among hunters.
The president of Kettner France, Bruno Miele, said: "Delinquency has declined in this area for three years. And what's more, we don't sell Kalashnikovs, pump-action shotguns or grenades, or any other forbidden weapons.
"Our clientele is made up of hunters who want to shoot partridges."
Mr Miele said there was no danger of his guns falling into the hands of local gangs. "We will be demanding at minimum to see the identity cards of suspicious customers."
French gun laws prohibit the sale of guns to minors. Only those who have a hunting licence are allowed to buy guns from Kettner.
Serge Dassault, the Gaullist mayor of Corbeil-Essonnes, said: "Delinquent kids will find guns if they want them. They won't need Kettner's for that."
