It's normal for bad governments throughout history to try to remove weapons from citizens instead of increasing education and reducing the number of criminals. Usually as a way of controlling people and protecting themselves.(Themselves meaning their seat of power in the government.) Look at Rome and the Goths for an example.

The 2nd amendment is a direct result of this in England. The "peasants", in some cases, couldn't even have pitchforks because it could be used as a weapon.
Suspect when the Founders said, "keep and bear arms", things like pitchforks were included in that thought process.
