I read somewhere that laws are couched in language from an earlir period in time with meanings different from what normal people think they mean today. One is the term "well regulated" from the Second Amendment. IIRC, well regulated as used in the language of the 1770's meant WELL TRAINED and not regulated as the word is used in today's manner as Mr. Metcalf seems to think.
Come to think of it, the "militia" as it stands today literally as no training and I'm not talking about the National Guard.
