I've never seen that as a constitutional
reason to own firearms. I'm now suitably embarrassed.

Thank you for the moment of clarity.

We, me included, almost never recall this part of the 2A.

The Constitution is sacred. Like the 10 commandments. There is a rank order of importance. The 1st amendment gives us the right to say what we want here. The 2nd amendment is to protect that right from tyranny.

Violation of the Constitution is a crime. Any so called exec order is false, if it go against the Constitution.

The Year of Mencken continues apace:

The only good bureaucrat is one with a pistol at his head. Put it in his hand and it's good-bye to the Bill of Rights.

Laws are no longer made by a rational process of public discussion; they are made by a process of blackmail and intimidation, and they are executed in the same manner

In 1776, our new nation had no Navy and no Army. The State's Militias (cadre of volunteers willing to defend the nation when called) was the sole means of defending our nation, and personally owned firearms were necessary to make this happen. I think that this explains the wording in the Constitution.
