Referenced claims
001firearms-laws-licensingCanada's current firearms baseline includes the Firearms Act, RCMP Canadian Firearms Program administration, Criminal Code firearm offences and prohibitions, and Alberta Chief Firearms Office functions within the Canadian framework.002firearms-laws-licensingAn independent Alberta could choose a different firearms policy direction, but licences, restricted-firearm records, authorizations, offences, prohibitions, safe-storage rules, and enforcement authority would need explicit day-one continuity rules.003firearms-laws-licensingThe pro-independence case is strongest when it proposes continuity first and policy reform second, including draft statutes, licensing operations, data arrangements, classification tables, and public owner guidance.004firearms-laws-licensingThe anti-independence or pro-federation case is strongest when it identifies specific transition risks in licensing data, RCMP program functions, criminal-law provisions, police and court enforcement, imports, exports, and cross-border recognition.005firearms-laws-licensingUncertainty remains high until public documents show firearms-transition legislation, administrative capacity, data access, police and court protocols, border agreements, classification proposals, and readiness review.
