Wrong.

The Second Amendment was written by those who knew that government tends toward tyranny and that an armed populace may be the only means to abrogate such tyranny. The Founders had just done precisely that.

The whole Constitution is about limits on government and the right to bear arms was placed next to freedom of speech in importance. To say otherwise shows such proponents to have little knowledge or perspective concerning US history or are just advancing an agenda contrary to the interests of freedom.
