The RCMP has told owners to turn in what the force is calling fully automatic military surplus firearms after hundreds were misidentified and allowed into Canada for commercial sale.

The headline is accurate. The bots summary is misleading. Full auto versions were accidentally sold as semi-auto. Two different versions of the same firearm.

Full auto versions were not sold. The firearms in question were converted to semi auto

Bots summary?

And the summary and headline basically say the same thing. You have to go a few paragraphs in to understand what they really mean.
