The people eligible to serve in the armed forces but not enlisted are considered by definition to be a "militia." According to the Constitution, the type of militia necessary to a free state is a "well regulated" one. So, militia is us, the citizens. We get the right to bear arms. However, the language of the document reserves the right of the federal government to see that we are "well regulated."

Based upon the vocabulary of the day "well regulated" meant "well trained". It had nothing to do with gun control.
And your interpretation runs counter to the Supreme Court's interpretation. The right to keep and bear arms is independent of service in the militia.
