And BTW, note that such changes were implemented primarily as a result of the determined efforts of progressive, liberal activists, the very type of people who are so despised on gun boards.
I can't help but find that amusingly ironic.

Stanc to say your unyielding is an understatement lol. The liberals of yester year were not the big government activist of today but quite the opposite of the progressives," a term created during the Wilson presidency if memory serves" liberals of today. For you to dismiss the writings and thoughts of the actual creators of the Second Amendment is quite disingenuous on your part especially if you were sincere about the true meaning of gun rights. It would be like people discussing "arguing" about the meaning in a novel and then totally dismissing the authors remarks on the very novel he wrote. Not very logical if I do say so.
