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.

This is true but I would like to reiterate; “well regulated” only refers to the militia and Metcalf is speaking as if it applies to “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms.”
