Because the puropse of government is to serve the people. They govern BY CONSENT or at least that was the intention of every system of democracy when it was first instituted.

That a government should be concerned about armed insurection by its own people is an outright condemnation of those that seek to govern knowing that they have not our consent.

No government that fufills the will of the electorate would fear an armed populus.

The Swiss government apparently has no fear of every adult male citizen posessing an automatic weapon.
