Sorry, I must be a bit thick. Maybe you can explain its obvious and well-thought out meaning to me. If it is that simple, it shouldn't take long.
"-- A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. --"
Eini; -- if only "well regulated" members of the militia are able to bear arms, are they any different from the army that has no opposition from an unarmed populace? --- Can you answer this question?
Your concern about the wording 'well regulated' is misplaced. -- In context - as was noted; "-- a well regulated militia is one that is trained well. --"
Why should the term imply anything beyond its obvious and "-- well thought out -- meaning"? [ Your words.]
-- Better yet, do you ~want~ it to imply something more?
-- its obvious and well thought out meaning?

The 2nds obvious and well thought out meaning protects our right to own and carry arms from ~any~ infringements.
Why is that so difficult for you to understand?
