Take not of that: "Well Regulated".

If we only pay atention to the second half of the rules "the right to bear arms" then the ten comandments tell us: "Kill, Bear False Witness, Covet The Neighbours Ass, Commit Adultery" and so on...
There are at least half a dozen threads in this forum alone about what 'well-regulated' meant then and means now. Being a brit, you should know this well.
