Link?And their weapons were not registered. They showed up with anything they hadWell regulated in the vernacular of the 18th century meant in working order, disciplined.
The government need not be involved at all. The people are perfectly capable of organizing and training themselves
A militia where nobody knows who is in it or what weapons are available to defend the security of our free state is not ordered or disciplined
I guess it's a good thing the colonists didn't subscribe to your thinking. They all just showed up with the weapons trained and fought together and it worked pretty well.
You kinda slept when they taught about the Revolutionary War didn't you?
Minute Men trained, they were known in their community, they had an organized military structure
They did not just randomly show up if they felt like it
Local militias kept records of who belonged, rank and their weapons
Type of weapon was needed for logistics and supply
And what if a person wasn't in a militia? His weapons were not registered as you would want them to be
In the civilian militia each member was to maintain his weapon at his own expense I would think that included ammunition
