The offences in part III are really about possession, careless use or use of a firearm to commit offences.
I gave the example of section 95, an offence that targets possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm in an unauthorized way when it's loaded. Section 88 is possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
They're not use offences in the way that some of the other Criminal Code provisions contemplate use. I gave the example of section 244.1. That is where somebody discharges a firearm, with intent to cause bodily harm.
We know that the courts have said that any offence involving firearms creates a public safety risk. There is an inherent danger where criminal conduct involving firearms occurs. Whether that conduct is use or whether that conduct is illegal possession, the criminal law framework around firearms is meant to minimize public safety risk.
