Obviously not. Restrictions on military weapons such as cannons, machine guns and RPG's are not prevented by the Bill of Rights. Also, gun control against felons and in various locations are not prevented by the Bill of Rights (try to carry a .45 on an airplane). What the Bill of Rights does prevent is the arbitrary prohibition of private gun possession.

What did the bill of right give us citizens?
It gave us better rights to deal with. Rights under the "Bill of Rights" were not granted (given) the bill of rights was used to protect those rights most often violated by government(s), as noted by the authors of the bill of rights; these are inherent rights that the bill of rights were intended to protect by expressly listing them, and are only a small part of the plethora of natural rights that existed long before the contemplation of the constitution. (loosely quoting Jefferson and Madison)
How did Abraham Lincoln's actions during the war violate citizen's civil rights?
During the US Civil War, President Lincoln suspended many freedoms that were guaranteed in the Bill of Rights. Habeas Corpus as example was suspended. Suspected supporters of the Confederacy were denied due process. Lincoln's defence of this was that in an emergency, certain civil rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights had to be suspended in the interest of preserving the Union.
