Citing centuries old insurrections does nothing to make me think this is something that ought to be adopted by Canada, and is thus a bad idea. Do Americans really need a cache of weapons at their personal disposal? I don't, regardless of what someone in a powdered wig conjured up 250 years ago.
Doesn't matter. It's the principle that counts. The US Bill of Rights is nice in that all the rights apply to everyone, all the time.

In Canada, our Charter has been picked apart to the point that even the simplest right, such as freedom of speech applies sometimes, but not always, and in measured quantities.
