87. you are mis-defining the word regulated.

you are mis-defining the word regulated. As used by the writers of the 2nd it is defined : to make properly functioning , orderly, disciplined and quite predictable, as in, to regulate a clock. It has nothing to do with control, it just meant that the people should train with their weapons. You're trying to apply the word "regulation" as we use it now to "regulate" as the writers used it then. Words change, or have multiple meanings. The word "regulate" wasn't used as you are defining it until 1828. See: Websters Dictionary 1806 & 1828, & Dictionary of Word Origins by John Ayto. Of course, I guess its possible when your physician advises you to maintain a well regulated colon, he thinks you should give control of your body functions to the fed.
