FireCycle is the world’s only specialist web-based firearms lifecycle tracking system designed to keep a comprehensive record of firearms within a nation’s borders. FireCycle manages the who – who the firearm belongs to, who it has been assigned to, or what organisation has ownership of it. The what – the make, model, manufacturer and serial number of a firearm, standardised by the RCMP’s Firearms Reference Table. The where – the location of firearms whether owned by organisations or individuals. And finally, the when – the time and date that firearms change from one status to another. Each transaction step is recorded as a firearm goes from gun dealer to private ownership, from legal to stolen, from imported to registered.
