The early draft isn't what was passed into law.
"The early 2ndA draft lists both 'well armed' and 'well regulated', thus they are two separate concepts."
That just means they were expressed as different concepts by the author of that particular version, which did not pass.
What did pass, and the context of what did pass, makes it very crystal clear to those without anti-gun blinders, that "well regulated" means well equipped.
It really doesn't matter anyway, the operative restriction in a sentence which has no other purpose but to restrict government from infringing on a right belonging to the people, contained in a document that has the stated purpose to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its (governments) powers, is shall not be infringed.
That says about everything that needs saying.
