The right to assemble wouldn't be much good without the First Amendment free speech protections. Basically, people could gather but if they said anything that violated speech control laws they'd be subject to arrest.
And as far as the militia stuff is concerned, it doesn't seem to me that you have put effort into examining the rest of the Constitution's provisions concerning militia(s). Those provisions provide the critical context to understanding just what on earth the 'well regulated militia' basis of the Second Amendment is about. And, if this is so, your opinions are of no value, specifically concerning their Constitutional mandate and the relevance of the Second Amendment in its context.
I'm not going to copy and paste the relevant text - I've done it before, and, with people so intransigent on the subject as you seem to be, it's never mattered one whit. Ever read the references that all sorts of laws make to other laws? Without reading the referenced laws (and, sometimes, the laws referenced by the referenced laws...), the ones you're trying to understand absolutely cannot be understood. The Constitution works the same way. If you read only, say, Article I, you'd understand that the Senate tries all impeachments, but you'd have no idea what the basis for impeachments might be or who, exactly, could end up in an impeachment trial before the Senate.
Fanatics generally ignore any context that might challenge or even invalidate their positions or the legitimacy of their behavior. I don't know if you're a fanatic, but the things you've written suggest disregard for important context on the subject of the Second Amendment. Which is the entire basis for the massive pro-gun manufacturers' lobby.
