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".

Although Washington had a low opinion of the "unorganised" militas, they were instrumental in many battles that would have otherwise been lost.
