How could you possibly know that (without yet having bothered to actually READ the written legislative history of the Congressional debate)?

How do you know I haven't read it?

Whether I have or not, my statement wasn't about the legislative history itself, but about the claims being made about it. I read the claims in your post. Maybe there is something in the history that was not referenced in the claims you quoted. I'm talking about the claims. If there is some other evidence beyond that, than either post it, or its not that relevant to the current conversation.

Most especially --- when the House puts in CLEAR LANGUAGE laying out an INDIVIDUAL'S RIGHT to bear arms... and the Senate refuses to go along, and strikes the language, and the House is then forced to accept the Senate's language

That the main claim, in question (although not the only one).

It indicates just about nothing. It doesn't indicate the reason for supporting different wording, only that two different groups liked two different ways of wording the amendment.
