It's changing its meaning. Once military robots become useful a rifle in the hand of the population becomes useless.
So the natural progression is open source 3D printed drones being the new symbol of democracy.
It's as you say, it is changing its meaning. We don't live in rural homesteads anymore. There is a rapid and professional response that will neutralise any armed unrest in its infancy.
On the other hand, mass strikes will cripple industries and commerce, though the latest ruling class seems to be heavily insulated against the knock on effects of such strikes.
I really don't know what the way forward for progress is.
The real difference between left and right gun owners is visible in the amount of terrorism they are categorized in the USA. There's some gun violence from left leaning individuals and then a mountain from right wing. As well, those robots, still can be destroyed with firearms. They also have human operators or support staff to keep them running. It's like a tank, best way to disable it is to get at its support structure.
