Can we all take a look at the "well regulated" element?
Because from this side of the pond, if you argue that "The People" are "The Militia" then that's fine - but who the hell is regulating them?
Most of the re-writes here simply drop the militia bit totally, which puzzles me - it's not like the founders would look on and say "hey guys just trim thole bits out - we were kidding about the well regulated militia part".
