When read in the context of when it was written, the 2nd could be said to be saying:
"Because a well trained and disciplined militia is necessary for the security of a free state, it must follow that the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

A small, but vital correction - well regulated meant "kept in good working order". When applied to the militia that can mean training and discipline, but it doesn't give them weasel words to demand training courses and oversight.
