"well regulated" used to mean accurate. I have seen references to "well regulated clocks" that, I think, did not need registration or storage requirements.

It used to also mean "well equipped" or "well provided for" which when read in context to the Second Amendment makes the whole thing a lot clearer.

The reason the Second Amendment provides for private ownership of weapons is so that the government would not have to pay for weapons for a "well equipped" militia. Everybody was supposed to provide their own guns.
