what does "a well regulated militia" mean?
2nd amendment

It means a militia that works well enough to kill the gun grabbers when they come.
Regulate means well running. The government used the word "regulate" as a euphemism for laws not made by congress. The Founders were well before the Politically Correct Newspeak.
Blake Ortiz
A militia is well-regulated when it can handle guns with precision and confidence.
Michael Sanders
i think it means the guns are well regulated to make sure no crazyfolk get them
Nathan Adams
well trained in military TTPs. by definition, raised from a previously self-armed populace.
Gabriel Davis
probably that the gov should keep track of who gets the firearms
Jackson Roberts
rules established in order to assure that the weapons aren't illegally traded to criminals
Carson Adams
"well regulated" literally means well equipped and maintained to a point where said militia has a somewhat even footing against an invading or tyrannical govt.
It ties in to the whole "the militia(re:the population at large) should have access to largely the same hardware as the standing Army" aspect of the 2A.
Julian Rogers
ummmmm sweatie? i don't think so

It means america needed an Army to protect itself from invading forces but you can't allow it to become too powerful that it might be attempted to overtake the general populace which is why the right of the people to keep and bear arms is to defend against a military industrial complex that goes to far because it wasn't well regulated.
