The comma preceding the word "shall" is needed for taking the "being necessary to the security of a free State" part the conditional way I am arguing but does not make a difference in execution if that part was intended as true forever. That is because without it the part after the second comma would have strongly suggested itself as one whole action that continues to be applicable even when the militia being necessary to the security of a free State is no longer true. But this comma prevents that by giving "shall not be infringed" its own execution time.
An example here is if the decision makers of a company say
The company, being on tight budget, big projects shall not be taken that would open itself to be taken as a general policy decision even if the budget becomes sufficient for big projects later, more than if there were a comma before "shall" which helps seeing the purpose as while the tight budget situation exists only.
