Not quite. The right to bear arms is to protect the citizens from government. A simple read of British history in the years immediately preceding the enactment of the Bill of Rights will show why. But as you say, with the current level of lethal technology possessed by the government, simply having guns is not sufficient deterrent against a government intent on taking away our rights. In some ways, the focus on the 2nd amendment right to bear arms draws attention from the real government encroachments such as the Patriot Act and the War on (some) Drugs.
