Let the police stop you to check if you have a drivers license, vehicle insurance and valid registration. Allow the police to stop and frisk you because they might think that you have a weapon on your person. Stop you and run your name through the NICS system to check for wants and warrants or if you are on probation. Where do you draw the line? How much power do you want the government to have to "protect" society?
The 4th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America has no bearing or relevance with a bill passed in Canada.

You might not like the Canadian legislation, but it doesn't apply to American laws anyway.

As said already - this entire topic of the "new" legislation is a nothingberder.
