He is after all the person credited with the phrase "building a wall of separation between Church & State." If his opinion of the meaning of the first amendment is relevant why would his opinion of the second amendment be any less so?
Usually whenever Jefferson is brought up in regards to the wall of separation, it's in response to Christian nationalist claims that the founding fathers did or wanted to establish the United States as a Christian nation, or to refute claims that there is no wall of separation between church and state in the First Amendment, something the Supreme Court has even referenced Jefferson's writings to rule in favor of.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
