While I agree that Gura should not have conceded this point, IMHO his backpedaling didn't state anything which doesn't already exist in federal law. His statements just re-affirm Miller, that reasonable restrictions are valid. I don't believe that these statements are going to provide any more justification to further regulate firearms than Miller already provides.
