枪击案刚过，美国银行向枪支制造商雷明顿提供援助资金



U.S. gunmaker Remington Outdoor Co has obtained commitments for nearly $300 million from its existing lenders, including some of the biggest U.S. banks, after new sources of funding dried up in the months leading up to its filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

在申请破产保护数月后，美国枪械制造商雷明顿公司已从其现有的借款银行中获得了将近3亿美元的贷款，这些银行包括美国的一些大银行。

During that time, the company's investment bank, Lazard Ltd , approached more than 30 possible lenders, according to court documents.

根据法庭文件显示，在其破产保护这段时间里，雷明顿的投资银行Lazard接洽了超过30个有可能借款给他们的机构。

Most of the banks providing the bankruptcy funding were lenders to Remington before its current financial problems, according to court records. Without the funds, Remington may have been forced to go out of business and the banks could have seen their investment crash in value.

根据法庭记录，这次向雷明顿提供破产援助资金的大部分银行都是之前雷明顿遭遇金融问题时向其放贷的银行。如果没有援助资金，雷明顿可能会被迫破产，那么这些银行可能会眼睁睁看着自己的投资失败。

The company and its investors have been under heightened scrutiny after 17 were killed in a school shooting in Parkland, Florida in February.

在二月份佛罗里达州帕克兰学校17人被枪杀之后，雷明顿公司及其投资者们就加强了安保。

Remington filed for bankruptcy one day after hundreds of thousands of Americans took to the streets to demand tighter gun control measures.

数十万美国人走上街头要求加强枪支管制措施，一天之后，雷明顿申请破产。

Remington disclosed the loan details in its Sunday bankruptcy filing, which the company said will allow it to cancel $775 million of debt and bring it out of Chapter 11 as soon as May.

星期日，雷明顿在其破产申请中披露了贷款细节，该公司称破产保护将能让公司减少7亿7500万美元的债务，并能让公司最快在5月份就结束破产程序。

If you think Remington accrued over 900 million in debt and filed bankruptcy as a result of protests within a month and a half of the parkland shooting, you're not thinking objectively.

如果你认为雷明顿累计超过9亿的债务，还有破产申请，是因为这些不到一个半月时间里举行的帕克兰枪击案抗议的话，那你可就错了。

The Rem .308 is still the standard sniper weapon.

雷明顿308仍然是标准的狙击手武器。

Let's see... The Parkland shootings took place on February 14 and Remington said that their "sales fell significantly in the year before its bankruptcy". I fail to see how the shootings in Parkland had anything to do with the bankruptcy - yet the author tries to tie the two events together.

让我想想。帕克兰枪击案发生在2月14日，而雷明顿公司说他们的“销售额在破产前一年就已经明显下降了”。我不知道帕克兰枪击案跟雷明顿破产有什么关系，但是作者试图把两件事情串在一起。

Their problems are mostly from lawsuits due to the Remington 700 bolt action rifle and it's defective trigger mechanism firing prematurely. It has nothing to do with the prent anti gun climate.

雷明顿的问题是雷明顿700步枪的诉讼案，还有过早点火的错误触发机制，跟抗议枪支的社会环境没关系。

My Remington model 700 30-06 is my favorite hunting rifle. Sad to see them file for bankruptcy. I hope they sell their patents to someone who can continue manufacturing them.

我的雷明顿700 （30-06型号）是我最喜欢的猎枪了。看到他们申请破产，我很难过。我希望他们把专利卖给能继续生产雷明顿700的人。

I'll always love my 870

雷明顿870是我不变的爱啊。

注释：雷明顿M870式霰弹枪是包括美国海军陆战队在内的全世界各个特种部队使用的近距离杀伤性武器。因其结构紧凑、性能可靠、价格合理，很快成为美国人喜爱的流行武器。

Remington's problem is not gun control. It's quality control.

雷明顿面临的问题不是枪支管控，而是质量管控。

Sorry to see an American Company go away. However, they do not produce superior products. CEO, Board Members continued to get rich, with inferior products and no public trust. 

很遗憾看到一家美国公司倒下了。但是，他们也没有生产什么优质的产品。雷明顿的CEO和董事会成员继续用质量低劣的产品赚大钱，丢掉了公众的信任。

I grew-up with their "hunting" guns and ammunition (shotgun & rifle). There are some companies that go bankrupt that causes me to hardly blink. But I have empathy for Remington, just like Sears, another company that has been good to me. My best wishes they all can turn it around.

我是和雷明顿的猎枪和步枪一起长大的。有些公司破产了，我觉得无所谓。但是我对雷明顿公司的遭遇感同身受，就像西尔斯百货（美国濒临倒闭的零售巨头）一样，那家公司我觉得很好。我祝愿他们的情况能好转。

Somehow, the protesters and the left will claim this as a victory, even though they had nothing to do with it.

不知道怎么的，那些抗议者和左派分子都声称这是一场胜利，尽管他们跟雷明顿破产没半毛钱关系。

Purely coincidence snowflakes, but pat yourselves on the back all you want. You don’t know how debt, sales, manufacturing works any more than you do guns.

（抗议和雷明顿破产）纯粹是个巧合，但是如果你要沾沾自喜的话，那就随你吧。你们都不知道债务、销售和制造对枪支的作用比你们的抗议还要多。

First of all there is absolutely no relationship between the two. Second.... Isn't it just like liberals to amass a crowd of "kids" that have no idea what they're talking about to march for a cause. These kids are just enjoying the attention they're getting ...

首先，这两者绝对没有关系。其次，那些抗议活动不就是自由主义者聚集了一帮“孩子”吗？孩子们根本不知道他们自己在说什么就为了某个目的去游行。这些孩子只是在享受他们得到的关注而已。

this means a bunch of their guns are going to be on sale. i think ill pick up a few.

破产意味着雷明顿很多枪都将会减价出售，我会去买几支的。
