Incorrect.
The term "well regulated" means well practiced, familiar with weapons, and not in need of weapons training.
The word regular means timely and well functioning, like a regulator clock or regular bowels.
All militia is both well regulated AND unorganized initially.
It is ONLY when the unorganized militia is called up for emergencies by the federal government, that is becomes the organized Militia.
The whole point of the 2nd amendment is to ensure everyone is armed and practices, so therefore is well regulated in arms.
So everyone is well regulated.
That's the common debate. Gonna have to support it in constitutional context, though. And the only thing we have are the Federalist and the Constitution. The Federalst being, of course, the blueprint for the Constitution. It's a good discussion if you could keep the children outta the thread, it's an intellectual discussion. A good one.
