It's cut and dried allright. "right" and "shall not be infringed" are pretty simple words that cant really be interpreted to mean anything other than what they mean.
However. The argument will continue forever simply because there are large numbers of people who dont care for the US constitution and are determined to stuff their opinions down other peoples throats and if that means destroying the constituion to do so they will happily try.

Not necessarily. Plenty of oppressive governments have been overthrown thruought history when the army was on their side. What's really the deciding factor is the will of the citizenry. Do you realize just how small and inadequate the US military actually is?
