They'd be horrified that we let the government infringe so much after explicitly telling us that they're our right

nah i think showing them the aftermath of Sandy Hook and Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, both via interview with victims & families and through video taken by students in Parkland (i know they exist bc i saw them posted as it happened), will probably help them understand how the world of firearms has drastically changed & so does the understanding of their language.
