Reply #113: That's the way these words were used when

[immoderate]

the Constitution was written. No one is preventing anyone from debating. Most debates are about the meaning of words anyway.

Here is a federal court case which covers much of this.

On edit: From US vs. Emerson (revised in 2001) 5th District Federal Court:

"The signification attributed to the term Militia
appears from the debates in the Convention, the
history and legislation of Colonies and States, and
the writings of approved commentators. These show
plainly enough that the Militia comprised all males
physically capable of acting in concert for the common
defense. . . . ordinarily when called for service
these men were expected to appear bearing arms
supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use
at the time.
