evels of government, the judiciary and their roles on the subject of gun control Gun related mortality in Canada is a crucial public problem, and Gun Control remains a significant concern for a vast majority of people in Canada. More than 700 Canadians are killed each year by the misuse of firearms, and a considerable large number of Canadians are injured due to misuse of firearms (Brown, 2012). In Canada, firearm related mortality is not just an urban problem. Gun ownership is highest in more rural territories and provinces, and not surprisingly enough, the highest death rates and non-fatal injury from guns occur in jurisdictions that have the highest ownership rates. The 2006 school shooting at Dawson College in Montreal where fourteen women were massacred, illustrates the magnitude of gun related deaths that could be prevented with tougher gun laws (MacCharles, 2012). In this paper, the roles played by each level of government and the judiciary in addressing public concerns on the subject of gun control are discussed.
