Thanks. What is a well regulated militia? Is there anything that can be used for definition or comparison? Well regulated makes it sound like something that is organised.

In my OED, "well-regulated" means, in reference to troops, "properly disciplined."
The militia itself is, basically, the citizenry.

Other synonyms are, “well equipped” and “well supplied”, “well trained”, and “well prepared”...

It doesn’t matter to the RKBA what a “well regulated militia” is. It could say “For an improvement in nutrition, the RKBA shall not be infringed,” and the meaning for possession and carrying guns, knives, brass knuckles, RPGs, etc, would be precisely the same.
