Claim - Colonial experience shows firearms were a right (p45)
Fact - Your anecdotes showed nothing related to rights, but rather requirements by law that colonists keep and practice firearms. Legal requirements to do something does not imply a right, rather seems to negate the idea of a right. A legal requirement to take part in public meetings undermines that right, eg.
