An Interesting Email Indeed....

For those of your giving the benefit of the doubt to the University I say that you are wrong. Nothing good will come from this study nor from the participation of legitimate businesses and people.

From where I sit in the cheap seats it seems every time the government or a government funded entity does research on firearms use and ownership the results are perverted to forward the disarmament agenda and portray legal gun owners / ownership as the problem.
 
Wow a $20 gift card AND they will keep my information confidential in return.

I can see Heather His cocks now, clutching her pearls and sternly reading the "Breaking News" headline "A study on illegal firearms out of Simon Fraser University has found out what the government has thought all along." Follow the money and you will see this is absolutely a government sponsored research grant funding this witch hunt.

Yes liberalism at its finest.

I think this is too much information. Do you actually know how to obtain at Jane & Finch? This is you admitting you DO know illegal firearms. When you don't actually "know" but you speculate, unless you have actually been there in person and purchased an illegal firearm yourself. See?
This is why Runkle says "don't say anything more than necessary" because you talk yourself right into a trap.

The first sentence is all you need to say. If wanted to provide information, just tell them facts like: "the local police force will have data on illegal firearms involved in crimes" because that's the reality. not speculation.

If you live anywhere near Toronto, this is very much common knowledge....
I did not reveal anything new or spectacular.

The area of Jane & Finch has been considered Toronto's gun crime headquarters for decades.
In other words a perfect, logical starting point as far as any research on the illegal firearms is concerned.
 
I'm interested in the reply if any that Dlask sent back to the researcher. Hopefully they politely told them to pound sand. 9 know they responded to the university ombudsmen but I doubt that will go anywhere.

Best post^

No these researchers are not by default on our side. As a business that has operated for so long in the handgun market you may have a unique perspective on how the criminalization of short barreled pistols has contributed to the illegal domestic supply of firearms. Many "illegal" guns were transmuted into existence from legal firearms inside people's gun safes in the 1990's and during other periods of firearms prohibition.
Pass it on to Burlew, Runkle or other firearms lawyers who will have a better ability to tease out the purpose behind some of the questions and also have better ability to speak to the criminal acquisition of firearms.
 
Were you contacted by the Principal Investigator? Each research study has a PI who is usually a professor and a department they work in e.g. policy, philosophy, etc. It would be great to contact him and express your displeasure with this study . Ask him how such an ignorant study got approved.

Could also be some useless grad student as well.

To be fair, these people are psychology graduates from SFU, brought up in a woke fantasy novel. They probably think you personally supply John Wick.

This. If you know anything about SFU (= Liberal/NDP woke factory) you would understand where this BS is coming from.

Glockenspiel
 
Just some background on the 'Douglas Research Lab's' mission :

https://www.sfu.ca/psychology/research/drl/hcr-20--version-3-.html

Violence risk assessment. Funny but I've seen that term used somewhere else recently.....

“Prince Edward Island (PE) will be used as a pilot and will be the first point of collection based on the smaller number of firearms,” the transition book states. “As a result, lessons learned, gaps analysis and risk assessment would inform the Phase 2 national roll-out.”

Tin foil hatters......GO !

(But seriously, there is nothing in the Douglas Research Lab's mission statement about guns, cross border smuggling or illegal firearms. There is mention of criminal repeat offenders, youth violence, violence against teachers and the like, but the word 'gun' or 'firearm' isn't seen anywhere in past or present studies. And according their 'Research Funding' page, last updated in 2019, hasn't been a grant since 2016.... How they jumped onto the firearm bandwagon I have no idea but I would LOVE to know who is paying for this totally unbiased 'study')

Speaking as an alumnus, SFU was ultra progressive when I attended ~20 years ago and has become even worse in recent years. It’s gotten to the point where I’ve unsubscribed from all communications and stopped making donations because everything they send out is dripping with lefty buzzwords and virtue signaling. Even the business school at SFU has gone fully woke.

With a few notable exceptions (e.g. Gary Mauser, Alexander Moens), SFU stands alongside Cuba, North Korea and China as one of the few places where communism remained ascendant after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

This is probably true of all canadian universities at this point
 
I had to re-read that email a few times.

Ive been part of Uni studies before (back we it was just a $10 gift card) and I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Most of these students didn't design the assignment and are just trying to get their credit.

But when I re-read that email it 100% assumes that you and your clients are up to shady business.

Its like asking a pharmacist the best way to buy illegal narcotics
 
SFU: Snow Flake University is a Liberal cesspool and probably one of the most "woke" places on earth. They truly live in a fantasy world. If you disagree with their views then you are a racisit, homophobic biggot.
I just became violently ill thinking about that hell hole.

That email was written by a 19 year old child that knows absolutely nothing about firearms and the firearms community other than what some left leaning idiot teacher told them.

I wouldn't worry about it much.

It's never a good idea to underestimate one's enemies.

I get the UBC Trek magazine several times a year. It's so full of woke dreams I don't even bother to use it as TP.

Or like when the MISANDRIST, radical feminazi is doing a study on wife beating. The only question is: Have you stopped beating your wife yet?
 
I would take part but my time is worth more than $20 an hour(don’t mention the amount of time I spend here that usually costs me money though)

I have cousins in BC that are conservative: they think their kid was rejected from SFU for being too conservative. The kid wasn't happy to be rejected, but the parents were not upset.

That is just it too: the questions can be loaded in such a way that any answer is against you. The example like the above could be, "Have you stopped acquiring, owning, using, and/or selling firearms criminally yet?" The only answer options in the electronic form are "YES" or "NO". There is admission of guilt in either answer: you either did at one time and stopped, or you still are. :mad:
 
Just another way for the RCMP to get more info about your buying habits. Then in turn they will figures out some other way take more of our guns and rights.
