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". |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
