Elliot's Debates in the First Congress...

I recommend you start at the beginning and read the early purposed drafts and how the wording barely changed at all from Pickney's initial draft of the Constitution through subsequent revisions.

Here's what South Carolina talked about:

Pretty similar to what Virgina and New York had to say as well. But I'm sure all that "delegating authority" to the FedGov and accepting Federal limitations on what were State powers under the Confederacy were just things that they needed a Judge to explain to them... All that talk about "Citizens Rights" in the individual tense was just them not realizing that the very system they were talking about was merely protecting a class of "collective" Rights.

Yeah right... sure they were.

No, I recommend you point out where the second amendment to the U.S. Constitution was to protect this individual RKBA.
