That act is completely unrelated to the second amendment and solely related to the federal control over a state sponsored national guard and its lack of power over independent citizen militia. If their intent with that law was to strip citizens of gun rights where within the dick act is that stated? Trying to apply modern day meanings of words and phrases to fit your narrative is intellectually disingenuous of you. There are dozens of quotes that clearly show the framers intent of allowing citizens to bear arms. The founders were independent citizens who just finished fighting a tyrannical government, why on earth would they require the citizens to obtain federal approval before creating said militia?
