This, IMHO, is one of those things that should be settled on a federal level and applied equally.
I think it should swing one way or another over time. The world changes and we evolve, I think the fact that we look at something written 200 years ago and expect it to fit well in today's society is one of the biggest issues. Technology, which firearms are, should not be an inalienable right without reproach. Technology evolves and it fits into society different over centuries yet we want to cling to a rule made based on technology that was available at that time.
Looking forward when we develop Starwars style blasters that disintegrate things and people, is that now arms that people need to keep and bear? What if it is a shape of a handgun, but only difference is the destructive force of the projectile? We are heading for even more confusion as the technology inevitably keeps evolving.
