How funny:
So who were these militias in need of regulation? In the South, they were called "slave patrols," and they were paramilitary groups that regularly patrolled slave plantations to make sure restive slaves weren't going to rise up against their white overlords.

It was a real question, and the answer was that "well-regulated militias" in the Southern states kept the slaves in check...The Southern states were police states designed to keep slaves in check.
