Keith:
Are you implying that some of the members here may be stretching their purported support for the 2nd Amendment a bit?
A have a quick story for everyone that goes back to the 2008 elections.
Harry Mitchell, a Liberal Democrat, won the Congressional seat in my district. After he had been in office for awhile I emailed him and asked him to state his position on the 2nd Amendment.
He sent me back a glowing response indicating he was a strong life long supporter of our rights to keep and bear arms.
I then emailed him back and stated if that was the case why wasn't he one of the 60+ Democrats who had sent Obama a letter indicating they would oppose any effort on his part to re-enact the "Assault Weapons" Clinton era ban.
The silence from Mitchell's office was very telling.

I don't know how Canadian's feel about their Constitution but I can pretty much assure you that the majority of Americans feel that our Constitution is in fact "Sacred" and 2nd only to the Bible in terms of importance.
