Does the 2nd amendment really apply anymore?

Basically I wanna hear people from the US tell me why they feel the 2nd amendment is important considering no matter how well armed they are, their government is much better armed and could stop any force put against them.

I can't speak for anyone but myself; but I think there is a widespread paranoia about the government taking over by force, or a foreign force invading our country. Those who believe in that sort of thing think they and their fellow Rambo types will fight them off and save the day. Yah, I'm sort of thinking that's balderdash.
