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?

Your argument here isn't clear. You're trying to make a case for Canadians to be armed, when realistically, you can go write your PAL, wait a week for the clearance and go buy a gun. This is obvious to people who really actually need guns, like hunters and farmers.

So we're left with two possibilities: you don't know what gun ownership actually means in Canada, or (and I don't like this option), you're trying to stir up sentiment in Canada because you're a professional or an amateur troll.

So which one are you? Because if you really are that naive to not have asked any questions before coming to Lemmy with this, you should stop.
