Here's just ONE indication of how much things have changed:

"The right of citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against the tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which has historically proved to be always possible."
Senator Hubert Humphery (D- Minnesota)

The difference is that 30-40 years ago the left saw tyranny and arbitrary government as a remote possibility. Now they see that it is in their grasp.

If old Hubert were still around he would probably switch to the Republican party.
