Because: Gun control is the prelude to genocide.

Answer:

Prior to the American Revolution, the American colonists were under the rule of the King of England. The British army was quite abusive to the colonists. Often, they would confiscate all the weapons in a village, then they would help themselves to anything they wanted, all "in the name of the crown!" Needless to say, the colonists truly hated the British army. And if the colonists had had enough firearms, the soldiers would have paid for their indiscretions with their blood.

After the revolution, as the American people were debating what kind of government to form, there were those who advocated having no standing army in this new nation. Their reasoning was that if there was no army, the army could not abuse the citizens, as had the British army. Others realized that a nation, if it wanted to be free from attacks of other nations, needed a standing army to repel any invasion or attack.

In order to calm the fears of those who advocated having no army, the Founding Fathers drafted the 2nd Amendment, which prevents the government from seizing the firearms of the citizens. The reasoning is that if the citizens are armed, the army is not likely to abuse the citizens.
