Even the mainstream media has been fact-checking the President's statements about firearms recently. Apparently, his comment about the 9mm being capable of "blowing people's lungs out" gave pause to even some of his most ardent media defenders, as lately, the White House and Pres. Biden are making some extreme, and egregiously in-correct non-factual claims.

The notion that when the 2nd Amendment became effective, one could not purchase a cannon has even been de-bunked, though I'm waiting for someone to point out to the White House -- and have media reportage -- that back in the day, Congress was authorized to issue Letters of Marque, and a citizen could not only own a ship, he could load it with cannons and operate as a privateer in support of the U.S. government.(although since the Civil War, the U.S. has followed the terms of the 1856 Paris Declaration forbidding the practice. The United States has not legally commissioned any privateers since 1815, but interestingly, In February of 2022, House bill H.R. 6869 was introduced, and would've authorized the President to issue letters of marque and reprisal" in relation to the Russian invasion of the Ukraine (obviously, this went nowhere).
So perhaps this is a good sign for the RKBA. Obviously, pending legislation will be controversial and contentious.
