I suppose that's as good an interpretation as any. One of the beauties of the 2nd, and of many such sentences, is that you can read into it what you want -- and it's clear that people do just that.
Taking into account what the FFs were trying to accomplish with the Bill of Rights, I firmly believe that the 2nd was intended to be ambiguous, while, at the same time, drawing attention to what was then the most uniformly agreed upon argument in favor of a right to bear arms. After the Revolutionary War, no state legislature would argue the point, and that was the desired result.
But the history of the issue over the decades preceding the B of R suggests that the most common argument (although not, possibly, the most forceful one) was an individual right to self-defense. Why the FFs didn't seize on that one, we can only guess. A key point is that there was no debate over the right itself. It was a no-brainer at the time.

Well, don't be too hard on yourself. I wouldn't say you're stupid, just crude and unimaginative.
