But a rule of construing statutes and the constitution is that we assume there is no superfluous language. The milita language, in this case, would be superflous.

It is most decidedly not superfluous. It is a reaffirmation of the need and existance of a "militia" which in the reading of the law/precedent/general knowledge includes all law abiding able-bodied persons who do not have a moral objection to the use of firearms to protect the liberties of the people and perserve the state.
In a word, exactly the things that where occuring down in N. O.
