Actually, they were talking about "every shithead with a gun" - as they made explicit in the sentence which follows the reference to a well regulated militia. Not that you can blame them, whatever their reservations about militias were...they just didn't have alot of choice on the soldiering front back in the day...and didn't particularly like the thought of paying professionals or buying equipment.
