It's only been in the last 50 years or so that people considered that phrase meaningless. It used to mean exactly what it said. Thank the NRA for being a industry-pushing, Russia-money-taking scumbag.
You don't even know what that means. It means "regularized", as in well trained and supplied. The idea was that having the populace be well armed would make it easier to muster a defense force in case of a conflict. "Because the state needs a well supplied and trained military force to remain free, the people have the right to own and carry armaments without restriction" would be the correct transliteration using the vocabulary of today.
"Chicago’s homicide rate is an outlier among major U.S. cities. At a rate of 29 firearm homicides per 100,000 residents, it is six times higher than New York City’s and three times higher than in Los Angeles."
Illinois, and Chicago in particular, is the highest gun crime area in the US and guess what city has the most restrictive gun laws.
I'm glad as fuck I don't love around a city because apparently it means I have a much much higher chance of getting caught up in gang violence and shot. Why would I want to put up with that?
