If you were to read James Madison's Notes on the debates of the Constitution you would realize that the 2nd applies to the formation of a common militia. Each of the 13 colonies had their own militia but they used different weapons of differing calibers, etc. Hence the "well regulated". Mad Uncle Wayne is so full of it , along with the Supremes that it is almost laughable. It is rather unfortunate that no one down here speaks English.
