Maybe it's time to put a "...well regulated militia" together.

Like the legal and medical professions and congress, it'll be self-regulated, of course.

..."...well regulated militia"...

Keep in mind that in the common vocabulary of the times when that phrase was written, "well regulated" meant "well-organized, well-trained and well-equipped", not "well-controlled".

Well regulated, as in well practiced in the use of personally owned weapons.
