Upon reviewing what I wrote in the preceding post, I don't think I should have at this point argued for actively wanting the first comma to state "being necessary to the security of a free State" as a conditional status. That is because the more deserving reason for the first comma still seems to be the one related to prevent this quoted part from carrying a meaning of being about qualifying the kind of militia instead of being about the situation or the environment in general. However, this clearly does not include the argument about the default implication of that first comma for stating an if status.
