Quote:Thus, the well regulated militia necessary to the security of a free state was a militia that might someday fight against a standing army raised and supported by a tyrannical national government. Obviously, for that reason, the Framers did not say "A Militia well regulated by the Congress, being necessary to the security of a free State" -- because a militia so regulated might not be separate enough from, or free enough from, the national government, in the sense of both physical and operational control, to preserve the "security of a free State."

The reason that the Second Amendment wasn't framed that way is because "well regulated" did not refer to being regulated by Congress. It meant being properly trained, equipped, and subject to military regulations.
