This guy's take should be destroyed every time it's encountered.
The completely ignorant application of a modifier to a noun not even in the same clause is pitifully dimwitted.
"Well-regulated" modifies "militia", not "right", and the mention of "militia" serves the sole purpose of explaining why the "right" is being guaranteed.
This "Militia" = "Right" nonsense is transparently stoopid, and those who espouse it should be shamed for being uneducated in the written English language. |

Not to mention "well regulated" would have been understood to mean "well trained". |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
