Regulated could mean a vareity of things. For instance, you don't want everyone to just have a handgun. What about the physical conditioning of the militia? Is there leadership?

At some point we have to make these rednecks take so personal responsibility for securing their damn guns. I own several, and it would take a damn SWAT-level attempt to steal them they're so secure.
But many of these rednecks just keep 'em in a closet or cheap ass safe that can be popped with a simple crowbar.
We need to be hard on crime. But we also need to be hard on stupid.
Ok. My proposal. I dont believe in a gun ban. Wouldnt work for one. And not enforceable.
So what about gun insurance? You have the right to transport, yet, cars are so dangerous, we require insurance.
So, lets pop up a new industry (JOBS!!!!) with gun insurance. How it works:
You buy a gun. You are informed by the dealer you are mandated to buy gun insurance. Just like when you buy a car. Now...you can ignore to do so, like some car owners do. But, if you never take the gun out of your home, you probably will never have a problem. Get caught with an uninsured gun, and you get a big time fine.
So how bout the insurance? Well, its liability only. Lost guns and damage aren't covered. Only property or personal damage you may cause with that gun, or another person causes if it falls into the wrong hands.
Cheapest rate: An insurance agent, probably an ex-vet or ex-cop (Yay, jobs for vets!), comes by your home, checks to see how secure your gun is, and you provide a copy of a clear psychological exam and certificate from a training class on it, like concealed carry. Bingo!!! Insurance is so cheap, you hardly notice. Like $20 a year.
Moderate rate: You do the psych exam and training cert, but tell the agent he cannot see your gun security situation at home. Higher rate, like $20 a month.
Moderate-High rate: You do the training cert, but refuse to do anything else. Much higher rate. Like $75 a month.
Highest rate: You do nothing but buy the insurance. Dont provide anything except name and type of gun. No training. No psych exam. And absolutely no way he is seeing your home and how you secure your gun. That rate is high. $250 a month or more.
Not only does it help with securing loose guns and keeping them in safer hands, but creates JOBS!!!! And, doesnt take away your right to own a gun.

Mandatory insuranace will magically make people accountable for their actions is the new paradigm.
When the Constitution was written, "well-regulated" meant properly functioning. It had nothing to do with nanny-state meddling that modern regulation encompasses.

Well, that and new laws.

Yep.
And, lets say a threat emerged to our nation. And somehow, in a miraculous horror, our military was defeated and destroyed. So unlikely it's comical, but lets say it happened. And then....the state, county and local police SWAT teams were defeated. All US military and police forces gone. Wow.
And the ONLY last resort was our "well regulated militia". Is our current "militia" functioning properly enough to save the country?
No. They're undertrained. And very fat. Have no central leadership. Nothing. They are violating the Constitution haha

One (maybe two) more laws, some manadatory insurance here and there. Bingo !
U-farking-topia.
Doesnt it say something about a "well regulated" militia?
Yes it does. An individual's right to bear arms can not be infringed because a well regulated milita is necessary for secure State.
Each state addresses the regulation of its respective militia.
My state does in its Constitution
Somehow you think no regulation = well regulated.
