The "men" who are going to "speak" on this issue aren't the ones who wrote it. They're long dead and buried.
But rather, the ones who WILL determine what the language of the Second Amendment means will be the nine members of the U.S. Supreme Court, when the Palmer case comes before them... as it must.
This should happen within 3-5 years, perhaps sooner, depending on how hard the principals of the case push the issue.
I will NOT predict how the Court will decide. Frankly, could go one way or the other.
I WILL predict that the decision will become one of the most important of the twenty-first century.

Alas, if they judge wrongly, then the U.S. Supreme court will not have the last word on the meaning of the Second Amendment. Heaven forbid the people, possessing arms and willing to use them, should have to correct their misinterpretation.
