I don't think it's an issue of government control where people blindly follow it, but rather that of a government that could easily exercise its tyranical will through force if the populace was unarmed. Firearms won't protect people from things they think they want from a government, but they can help prevent those things they know are really undesirable, like being killed. For instance, the Gestapo would have had a harder time rounding up the Jews if they had a way to effectively defend themselves.
