Yes, well regulated —it’s in the Constitution!
Well regulated didn't mean banned nor goverment controlled.
It meant functional.

It's been said before that the National Guard is NOT what the founders meant. Otherwise it would have been assembled prior to 1912.
Regulated does not mean controlled or banned. In 1780's language, it just means "armed".
