Disregard my point with semantics because that solves the problem under discussion?

It's not semantics. It's the point of the discussion. You argue about the unconstitutionality of restricting the right to bear arms.
"Arms" have an actual meaning. A definition. It means weapons. It doesn't mean guns. It means weapons. It is a generic term that is NOT more specifically defined in the Constitution.
So MartinSE's point is 100% valid. You say we all have the right to bear arms. Arms means weapons. It does not mean guns, exclusively. It is also not a matter of semantics. It is a matter of law.
