These words have always bothered me, “regulated Militia”

There’s a comma after that part of the sentence. The comma is very important. By putting the comma there it separates the individual right to own gives it its own standing.

One need not even get into semantics: One cannot ‘regulate’ that which ‘shall not be infringed’. It would otherwise be logically self-conflicting.

IE: Your using the incorrect definition.
