And "regulated" at the time of the adoption of the 2nd Amendment meant organized, trained, and disciplined. It didn't mean restricted or limited.

My Eenglish nawt two good butt... it appears to me that the word 'regulated' refers solely to the Militia. And there is a Federalist paper which makes it clear that any regulation is to be done by the states, not the federal government.
