"well regulated" meant "well equipped" back then. Translated into modern language, the second amendment basically means
"Since a well equipped militia like the minutemen is all that's preventing a european power from conquering us, congress shall not infringe on the people's right to possess and carry firearms."
The founders had no intention of restricting gun ownership for anyone but slaves, even freed blacks were allowed and encouraged to arm themselves.
