    In this context “well regulated” means like a smoothly-running clock, with the implication being that militia members will need weapons for training and practice.

      As a lefty, part of me wishes we learned into the well regulated militia part and viewed firearms as a part of community defense. But, also as a lefty, there’s much more important things we could do to improve community resiliency before we finally get to firearms training.
