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.

The reason we have the 2nd Amendment is to protect ourselves from our own government. And look how the brave citizens of Vietnam and countries in the Middle East have stood up to our government.

@hunkalove You know millions have died right? Like saying "these countries have stood up to our government" is a bit off base. Vietnam had bad press and was a shit show true but the middle East has been completely devastated by the US. If the US used their full force very little would be left of any of these countries.
