The armed man in question was [i]black[/i], if you read back.

Trying to play the "racism" card here is a bit out of place.

Either way the tactics of intimidation are not legal.

Why shouldn't people be armed? I see nothing wrong with carrying a weapon.

I guess in Canada only the government can have guns. Thank God America has a constitution.

Canada has an unwritten one, and America's written constitution will only last so long.

Eh, America's constitution is already down the toilet.....or at least on the roll....

Thank God the US still has enough people who don't believe the right to life comes from the state.

Americans believe the right to anything comes from a piece of paper 200 years old.

In part, yes, but if you press those who are opposing the current expansions of the State, you will find behind it a belief that rights are endowed by our Creator, not by the government.

This is acknowledged by a piece of paper around that age.

ARs are alright, but I prefer the 7.62 round the M1A sends down range.

So far Obama's pen has proven to be mightier than some guy's rifle at a rally.

Incorrect. Canada's "constitution" is an act of the British parliament.

The attempts to establish a constitution in Canada, for Canada, and by Canadians, failed in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

It is very very difficult to obtain your firearms permit in Canada. You may never legally carry it unless you're hunting with a hunting rifle, and you also need permits to transport it. Even once you have that permit, the permit itself specifies where you're allowed to take it, and nowhere else.

Guess you're right. Constitutions "in, for, and by" only work if they are "in, for, and by" truly Christian people, though (hint: the Founding Fathers weren't Christian, and nowadays the US Constitution isn't run in,for, and by Christians anyway).

While some of the Founding Fathers were deists, others were devout Christians. Of particular note is Charles Carroll. King Louis XVI, a very devout Catholic monarch, also deserves to be counted as a Founding Father of the United States, at least to some degree.
