The phrase "well regulated" meant to the Founders, "made regular." It is only in relative recent history that regulating means making rules.
A well-regulated militia was trained, drilled, equipped, organized, etc.
Regular interstate commerce was commerce that moved regularly without undue interference from the States.
Unfortunately, among today's leaders, "regulate" means "Oh, goody, I get to make rules and control people."
