from dictionary.com. It would seem that well-regulated AND militia being put in the same clause, makes it clear which of the following meanings ( 1 or 2, IMO) to which they were referring. But then there is that troublesome, well regulated language...

mi·li·tia (m-lsh)
n. Abbr. mil.

1.An army composed of ordinary citizens rather than professional soldiers.
2.A military force that is not part of a regular army and is subject to call for service in an emergency.
3.The whole body of physically fit civilians eligible by law for military service.
