As I said before, the historic basis of the US was expansion of White settlements to the West, onto land occupied by Indians, who often took umbrage at the palefaces taking their land and preventing them from hunting on it, and slavery, which tended to result in slaves escaping and not willing to return to the degree that they attacked the patrolers whose job it was to bring them back, and rebellions. Both required the citizens to have access to firearms, which gave them an advantage over the Indians and the escaped slaves.
I think it is pretty clear from European history that disarming the populace was a common thing for governments to do. The Spanish painter Goya, in his "Disastres de Guerra" etchings show men garroted with a knife tied around his neck with a cord and a sign saying "he had a knife" The French removed Fernando of Spain and put Napoleon's brother Joseph upon the throne. The English did not like this and invaded Spain and there was a very bloody campaign in which the British soldiers, who were few, taught the techniques of guerrilla warfare to the Spanish. These were the techniques the same British officers had learned from the American patriots, who, in turn, learned them from the Indians.
So your Cherished Holy Amendment was written into the Constitution because the Founding Fathers knew that weapons in the home were essential in giving an advantage over the White settlers over their red and black potential enemies. They also anticipated a time in which the government would have the power to disarm the populace. There were Abolitionists in this country from before its founding. John Adams and his son, to name two.
