That is NOT the meaning wrt a militia. Such a militia was well trained and well officered THAT is the regulation spoken of in the Second.

The appropriate meaning in this context is " A governmental order having the force of law." Or "A principle, rule, or law designed to control or govern behavior."

Our founders did not want a bunch of Clowns claiming to be militia doing whatever the hell they wanted and claimed the power to do so. It had to be regulated.

BTW "slut" meant "dirty, slovenly woman."

Nonsense. Prove that. I see that you are well impressed with your vast knowledge, it seems you are a member of a very small club.
