I think incorrect. He refers to the RKBA as a "newfound individual right." In that he is mistaken.
Until 1934, people owned whatever arms they could afford, including warships, automatic weapons, and artillery- the very latest and most powerful military weaponry of the day.
Until 1968, felons were not prohibited from owning weapons, and ordering firearms by mail and in the corner hardware was common.
From 1934 to 1986, it was legal to manufacture machine guns for citizen purchase, as long as the tax (a high one) was paid.
The collectivist view is the new (and I believe incorrect) view.
