You only vote when everyone else is voting, you only assemble when everyone else is assembling, and you only keep and bear arms when everyone else is as part of a Militia.

Voting when there is no election is logically impossible, assemble is probably not a logical term when applied to a single person, but it's quite possible, and perfectly logical that one person can both keep and bear arms, militia member or not.

Sure, though that's not what the second amendment protects. Like voting, the second amendment protects an individual right exercised collectively.
