In case you wondered what a "well-regulated militia" looked like, here is the governing law and regulation, passed by the Congress May 2, 1792 and amended in 1795.
The Militia Act of 1792 required all white males of the age of 18 to the age of 45 years to serve in their respective state militias. Detailed regulations passed May 8, 1792 stipulated the organizational and rank structure and spelled out what equipment was to be provided by each member of the militia at his own expense.
It makes interesting reading.
Those of you anxious to exercise your Second Amendment rights - this is what it was about.
