“Well regulated” simply means “in a good working condition” (like, e.g., a watch).

Yes. It still says "a well regulated militia", which means a well-organized militia, in an effective fighting shape.

We can debate many things about guns, but I think we can agree that for a vast number of gun owners, that's not a statement that applies. No matter if we're textualists or not.
