To help the public develop a fair understanding of the Canadian firearms community, there needs to be more research. Take a few minutes to share with PhD Candidate, Noah Schwartz, what gun ownership, hunting, sport shooting, and gun collecting means to you.

PhD Study on Firearms Policy
To whom it may concern,
My name is Noah Schwartz. I am a doctoral candidate at Carleton University studying firearms policy.
I am interested in better understanding the social meanings and personal values that gun owners attach to firearms. Most research done on gun ownership comes from the United States. Little is known about Canada’s over two-million licensed gun owners, creating a blind spot for researchers and leading to a misinformed public debate.
The purpose of this questionnaire is to better understand what guns mean to the people who own and use them, and how this motivates political action. I am interested in hearing about gun owners’ personal involvement in hunting and the shooting sports, and what they think about the role that firearms have played in Canadian history. The survey also asks participants about their involvement with the gun-rights movement, which could be useful for your organization.
I would be grateful if you would be willing to circulate this link to my online survey among your members:
