Hello /c/Canada

You know how there's a 2nd amendment in the U.S. on the right to bear arms? I know that it was originally meant to allow people to form militias and defend their rights should the government become an authoritarian regime and stop following the constitution.

Is there anything similar in Canada in terms of laws or rights and freedoms?

I dunno. New rifle associations have sprung since. Like the African American Rifle Association. And there's an increasing number of democrats who are asking themselves.

Maybe plan B is not there yet, but it's in the making.

Maybe look into the black panther party for self defense to get some context on the "new" ideas.
