Well, every Supreme Court so far has regarded the words "well-regulated militia" as having meaning and being relevant to the intentions of the founders when they wrote that amendment.

Most Supreme Court Justices have noticed it didn't say "so that any person who feels inadequate, wants to walk a bit taller and swagger a bit more, for whom the capacity to kill anyone who they think deserves it whenever they feel like it, can do so."

A "well-regulated militia" hasn't usually been used to describe some guy, his brother-in-law, a 12 pack and a platoon of resentments and grudges looking for someone who deserves to die.

(Every obnoxious SOB who consistently gets into fights that I've interviewed has said the same thing - "I don't go looking for trouble, but if it's there I don't dodge it, either." Guess what - they're looking for it.)

And, there are those who do know "well-regulated militia" means something. "Well-regulated" means "toilet-trained to the point of normally, except under unusual circumstances" unzipping their pants before they let fly. All the "regulation" a MAN needs. "Militia" means armed, obviously.
