[rolph]

regulation, as a constraint vs extremes of behaviour, keeping something within acceptable boundries.

duly elected or not, a government that persues an undue course of action is in need of regulation. the proximal context, a militia occupying cities to enforce the taking of taxes, liberties, and autonomy is a militia requiring regulation.

that regulation manifests as a resistance to application of force that is bane rather than boon to the social order.

that requires the bearing of arms that place the regulating faction [plebe] on equal terms with the offending militia.
