>Respectfully, how does your desire to bear private arms contribute to your militia or the freedom of your state and country?

Individually, not much, but like vaccines and herd immunity, it works well when large number do.

"in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers"

>How did you come to believe you needed this capability?

History makes a fine lesson. Maybe 100 million killed by democide in the 20th century.

Yelling "fire" in a movie theater has nothing to do with "prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers". Neither does slander, verbal assault, etc.
