The word regulated is a synonym for "orderly", not a synonym of "bureaucratic establishment by the state".
This is why the US Military refers to the general population of the United States, as a fighting force, as "The Unorganized Militia".

Oh, agreed, but these people are just not interested in accurately representing the US Constitution. Given that - as recent reverses have demonstrated - they cannot go around it, their next best hope is to change the English language itself until it no longer holds the same meaning.
