Technically, you are correct. Constitutionally, with the
idea of the second amendment to be to allow the people of
the United States to revolt against the government if it
became too tyrannical, the idea was that if the United
States military had those weapons, so could its people.
The caveat on this statement, however, is that there are now
international treaties in place attempting to limit the
proliferation of nuclear arms worldwide. As it would be an
unspeakable act if the United States were to use it's
nuclear arsenal against its own people, the world would
respond if it did. As such, the necessity of the people
owning these weapons is moot as the deterrent is from other
countries. (I will admit, that last statement is opinion,
and can be argued either way)
Above and beyond the internationally recognized (as they
have become known) weapons of mass destruction, second
amendment was created purely because the constitution would
not have been ratified without them - the people were afraid
of the government taking over their freedoms they just
fought to gain. Some in this day believe that these
freedoms are no longer necessary, as it would be impossible
for the US government to create laws that would become
tyrannical. Unfortunately, others will argue that it is
already being done.
