I don’t know, a mentally ill teenager who wants to murder little kids doesn’t sound ‘well-regulated’ to me.

"Well-regulated" in the parlance of the time when the 2A was written does not mean what you think it does. It meant "proficient".


An updated read of the 2A would be:


A "proficient" militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
