No. “Well regulated” in the context of the 2A means in good working condition. The militia, which is every male between the ages of 18 and 45, shoukd have a working weapon. Legal “regulations” has nothing to do with it.

>Finally, the adjective “well-regulated” implies nothing more than the imposition of proper discipline and training.

It's pretty close...

>>“Well regulated” in the context of the 2A means in good working condition.

This is the first time I'm hearing of this "good working condition" definition.

Definitions and case law surrounding 200 year old text aren't immediately intuitive from the layman's reading.
