I'm not suggesting that the 2nd Amendment be abolished and I don't think the gun control lobby is either. Anything can be controlled by an authoritarian Gov't. Your right to bear arms might be severely restricted by your ability to buy a gun or ammo. I think that for gun rights people in the US this is their big concern.

Now, I am basing this on the presumption cigarette smoking is not guaranteed by the Canadian Constitution as a specific fundamental right, but I could be wrong

No there isn't but there is no law preventing people from smoking either. Yet the habit is slowly being restricted with the specific aim of ending it completely.
