Patrick Walsh is an Idiot
He wants to reword the 2nd amendment, and seems to think he has more insight to the Founders intentions than the SCOTUS
However, this ignores the usage of the word "regulate" in which the "rule" refers to the proper operations of a device rather than to man-made laws.
George Mason, one of the Virginians who refused to sign the Constitution because it lacked a Bill of Rights, said: "Who are the Militia? They consist now of the whole people." Likewise, the Federal Farmer, one of the most important Anti-Federalist opponents of the Constitution, referred to a "militia, when properly formed, [as] in fact the people themselves."
Something that was well-regulated was calibrated correctly, functioning as expected.
The distinction between a well-regulated army and a mob is the good order and discipline of the first, and the licentious and disorderly behavior of the latter. G Washington
So the term "Well Regulated" in 1776 seems to have meant "Trained", not burdened with regulations, laws and rules.
By the way Patrick if you have all this "Training" why won't you take the responsibility to defend those you hold dear?
