  33.  @viperabyss  SCOTUS ALSO SAID YOU ARE WRONG ALONG WITH OXFORD DICTIONARY. It was not until 2008 that the Supreme Court definitively came down on the side of an individual rights theory. Relying on new scholarship regarding the origins of the Amendment,11 the Court in District of Columbia v. Heller12 confirmed what had been a growing consensus of legal scholars—that the rights of the Second Amendment adhered to individuals. The following source gives examples from the Oxford English Dictionary of how the idiom was used from 1709 through 1894, demonstrating how the idiom 'well-regulated' has meaning beyond 'regulations' > 1709: "If a liberal Education has formed in us well-regulated Appetites and worthy Inclinations." > 1714: "The practice of all well-regulated courts of justice in the world." > 1812: "The equation of time ... is the adjustment of the difference of time as shown by a well-regulated clock and a true sun dial." > 1848: "A remissness for which I am sure every well-regulated person will blame the Mayor." > 1862: "It appeared to her well-regulated mind, like a clandestine proceeding." > 1894: "The newspaper, a never wanting adjunct to every well-regulated American embryo city." The sense of the term above is something like 'normal', 'well-ordered', 'regular'. Indeed the word 'regular' also shares the same origin as the word 'regulations', yet its common meanings are unrelated to the concept of regulations. Parsing the 2nd Amendment, the US Supreme Court wrote that "the adjective “well-regulated” implies nothing more than the imposition of proper discipline and training", and elaborated (quoting another scholar, Thomas Cooley).
