Hence, the states remained able to infringe had there been any wish to do so. The second amendment also says "...being necessary to the security of a free State..."
Why would a state have the power to infringe that which the Constitution stipulates is necessary for the state to be free?

They would not, fear of the federal government having the sole military force was the reason the amendment was demanded. Free states had the most to lose when the right to bear arms was threatened.
