BTW. "well regulated" means well trained, and well equipped, not "restricted" in any way. Anyway, doesn't matter as the militia clause is separate from our NATURAL RIGHT.
You're defining "well regulated" in a way that YOU want.
I on the other hand am looking at the description of a well regulated militia that is described in the Constitution Article 1 Section 8
"To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;"
According to that...the militia was a far different thing from what gun huggers claim.
It was NOT there to overthrow the government but to do exactly the opposite and it was NOT a bunch of clowns sitting in front of a barber shop bitching about the "gubmint"
