"A well REGULATED militia,
In high school I freind of mine had a grand mother with a very old dictionairy. he showed me that in that dic. REGULATED had more than one meaning, one was for firearms. today we call it "sighing in" i.e. being able to hit what your trying to.
changes how you read the sec.adm.
A militia that CAN hit the broad side of a barn being necessary to the secrity of a free state.......
let the ppl practice.
