Canadian Firearms Program

Case Study: Individual Preparation Report Name: Maruf Hashem Date: January 30, 2013 Case Title: Canadian Firearms Program Introduction Gun violence is serious social problem and Canada has a long history of firearms control. However, increasing costs to the Canadian Firearms Program (CFP) has made it a lightning rod for criticism from both pro and anti-gun advocates. Reports out of the media and Auditor General Sheila Fraser paint a picture of inefficiency, incompetence and mismanagement.

we have conflicts between two parties in which should the program be continued; however, we as project managers often have to intervene to resolve conflicts between two groups of people. The intervention, whether it is an action, recommendation or even suggestion, should be based on facts, results and statistic that have been reached or that have been logically predicted. From that point, we are going to overview the Canadian Firearms Program (CFP) and review some cases, as well as going over a verifiable

Code of Canada (CCC) and related regulations, and the Firearms Act. Firearms Act is an act respecting firearms and other weapons. The Canadian Firearms Program (CFP), part of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), is responsible for the authority of the Firearms Act, which covers the possession, transportation, use and storage of firearms in Canada. The CFP handles the licensing of individuals and maintains a national database of firearms records. Additional laws and regulations also apply at

The Wonders Of The Canadian Government “Protection of life is NOT a legitimate use for a firearm in this country sir! Not! That is expressly ruled out!"- Justice Minister Allan Rock, 1994. Guns are highly controlled in Canada for a reason, because if they were not, where would Canada be now? Canada would be in anarchy as they slowly watch their country slip into violence and on to its impending doom(Hyperbole). To think back on life, whether 19 years of age or 90 years of age, has there ever been

contain violent crimes, with the Canadian government taking the first step in the late 1800s. In order to protect its citizens, Canada’s legislature implemented a series of laws, throughout several decades, restricting firearms and requiring gun registration. Although opponents say that their rights and freedoms are violated by such legislation, the ultimate goal is the safety of the Canadian people. Lawmakers were challenged with the task of preventing violence with firearms without infringing on the rights

Gun Control in Canada Gun Control is an important issue to Canadians. Canada has both provincial and federal legislation that restricts the sale, purchase, and use of different kinds of firearms. The United States, on the other hand, do not have federal or state bills restricting the possession or use of firearms, only local laws exist there. A firearm consists of any barreled weapon from which a shot, bullet or other missile can be fired and that is capable of causing serious bodily harm or death

The number of defensive gun uses are higher than the number of criminal firearm uses. There was a range of 500,000 to over 3 million defensive gun uses in 2013, according to research from the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council published by the CDC. That same year, there were 11,208 firearm mobicides and 41,562 nonfatal illegal gun uses, according to the CDC and National Justice Institute, respectively. Even when taking the low end of the defensive gun uses, it’s clear that there

handguns and automatic weaponry must be registered and accounted for with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s Canadian Firearms Program (Cowan, 2014). Of course in the United States, registration laws vary from state to state; however, no such requirements or mandatory courses are often utilized or necessary to obtain a firearm. Furthermore, Canada requires a background check, much the same as the U.S., except the Canadian background check focuses on mental health and addiction. Agents are also required

Position Paper on Gun Control While Americans were contemplating gun control proposals in the wake of mass shootings at a Colorado School, another gunman massacred 50 people in a club in Orlando. This incident brought heated political exchanges between President Obama and Trump, the Republican presidential candidate. It is estimated that in 2015 alone, there were more than 351 mass shootings in the United States. This is a worrying trend that should be reversed as soon as possible. Surprisingly

would many states with the lowest homicide rates also have relatively low gun-control laws? There is variably no connection to high gun ownership rates and higher amounts of crime. There are only 6 states in which 50 percent of the household’s own firearms that is Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Montana, West Virginia and Wyoming. If gun control advocates are correct about guns, these states would have much more higher crime rates. Data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that
