We reviewed the available data on firearm-related injuries in Canada to suggest strategies for prevention in the context of the proposed amendments to the Criminal Code (Bill C-17) currently before Parliament. The risk of death from a firearm in Canada is equivalent to the risk of death from a motor vehicle crash. We discuss the risks associated with firearms with regard to suicides, homicides and "accidents." We also discuss the accessibility of firearms. This article builds upon a recently published update on the epidemiologic basis of the public health approach for the prevention of firearm-related injuries and deaths. The key to the etiologic approach to preventing such injuries and deaths is to view the incidents, regardless of their medicolegal circumstances, as having one factor in common: the discharge of a firearm.
我们回顾了加拿大与枪支相关伤害的现有数据，以便在目前提交给议会的《刑法》修正案（C-17法案）背景下提出预防策略。在加拿大，死于枪支的风险等同于死于机动车碰撞事故的风险。我们讨论了枪支在自杀、杀人及“意外事故”方面的相关风险。我们还讨论了枪支的可获取性。本文基于最近发表的关于预防枪支相关伤害和死亡的公共卫生方法的流行病学基础的更新内容。预防此类伤害和死亡的病因学方法的关键在于，无论其法医学情况如何，都将这些事件视为有一个共同因素：枪支的发射。
