In the 2nd Am. "Well Regulated" does not mean regulated as in controlled by rules and regulations. "Well Regulated" means "efficiently working" like a well oiled machine that is "regulated" or timed effectively.
IOW, when crap hit the fan, the militia was expected to show up with modern military hardware and weapons, in good repair, ready to deploy into combat.
