You seem to be getting hung up on the "well regulated" portion. Please go look and see what well regulated meant at their time. The militia was made up of farm boys that were called up THEN they were trained, not before. They also used their own guns, hence the reason for the 2nd amendment to talk about both things. They were not talking about an organized militia being able to have guns, it is the people that would potentially make up that militia. Basically they wanted the people to be able to fight back if the government became oppressive.
