A well regulated militia meant the government was supposed to keep its citizens properly armed, up to date on tech, and supplied in the event they had to replace the army.

Did it mean the government had to provide that or did it mean the government shouldn't prevent the citizens from arming themselves with the best?

They had to provide it. The Bill of Rights is read from the perspective of the Government. It tells them to regulate militias to ensure a secure and free state. The shall not be infringed is added on to the end in case anyone gets confused.

If anyone gets confused you’re supposed to follow the logic of the amendment. If the regulation doesn’t apply to disarming the people then regulation refers to keeping them properly armed. It’s clear as day in black
