Well-regulated means well trained and well equipped. It does not mean "controlled"or other modern definition that you seem to be implying. See https://bearingarms.com/bobowens-bearingarms/2014/06/24/well-regulated-n19250

Not correct and not what I imply, just the opposite. The militia to be regulated is the Federal militia. The constitution as written called for a standing Army but still termed as a militia. The states just defeated a standing British Army. The states wanted a way to regulate the Federal militia. The best way to regulate the need for a standing army is to have all the citizens armed, wether or not they are part of a state militia was not the point. When all citizens are armed than you contain and control and regulate a standing federal army from ever subjugating the people.
