There is much more to the constitution than the 2nd, but the rest isn't worth spit without it.

Hamilton and Madison both argued that the rights protected by the Bill of Rights were implicitly protected under the Constitution since there were no power granted the government to take them away. This included the Right to Bear arms.

Hence there was no necessity for the 2d amendment at all and thus your statement is false.
