I don't think Canada has a constitution, does it? The NRA does have a point when it says that, "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns". That has a double meaning: criminals (and police) will remain armed, because they don't obey the laws; and people who try to protect themselves from armed criminals (and police) by remaining armed will themselves be considered criminals. Ex-felons are pretty much universally banned from owning guns already, and the NRA has no interest in restoring their 2nd-Amendment rights.
