Er. the language hasn't really changed on this. 'Regulated'
still means regulated, which is the participial adjective of
'Regulate':

To control, govern, or direct by rule, or regulation;
to subject to guidance or restriction; to adapt to
circumstances or surroundings.

Guido you are an idiot. Please sive this for study the next time you
decide
to be a hoplophobe.


Listen ****wit I don't give a damn about either the Supreme
Court, or the 2nd Ammendment. This sub-thread is simply
about the OED and the history of words.

I also notice that you are so ****ed up about the issue
though that you've taken to responding to automatic repliers
with 1000 line blogs too.

%%%% Sorry to disappoint you but it was written before "blogs".

No 220-pound thug can threaten the well-being or dignity of a 110-pound
woman who has two pounds of iron to even things out. Is that evil?
Is that wrong? People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence,
they're begging for the rule of brute force, when the biggest, strongest
animals among men were always automatically "right". Guns end that,
and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make
it work.
