Although there are various reasons why the constitutional framers included the right to bear arms in the Bill of Rights, the main reason why this amendment was created was to insure that the citizens of the United States could protect themselves. At the time this amendment was created, (1791) a formal police force that could protect the civilians did not exist. Therefore the framers of the constitution recognized the need for self-protection and thus, the second amendment was created. There wasn't really a precise moment in history that led to this amendments creation, although one could say the revolutionary war mainly contributed to its adoption.
