It kinda does mean that, but the 2A does not grant the militia the right to bear arms, it grants the people the right to bear arms, because the government must have a militia/military.

The first half of the 2A is merely establishing the reason the actual clause exists. And it's absolute bullshit that anyone ever tried (let alone succeeded) to claim otherwise.
