Cross - border firearms trafficking in North America: Canada

A recent report on illegal firearms reported similar patterns at the provincial level in Ontario:

The Firearms Tracing and Enforcement Program (FATE) was established in 1994 in response to a requirement that all Ontario Police services would be required to trace seized firearms not registered in Canada:

- In 2007, FATE traced 705 crime guns, 90% of which were prohibited (399) or restricted (237)

Sources of traced crime guns included:

- 490 (69%) traced to U.S.
- 74 (10.5%) traced to a Canadian dealer
- 78 (11.5 %) were too old to trace and
- 60 (8%) could not be traced due to lack of information.
