I would bet that the Founding Fathers had read a lot of English history and did not want private armies around that would march on Parliament. That is not what the 2nd Amendment was about back then but was about a "well regulated militia".

And they probably know about Roman History-- Year of the Four Emperors - Wikipedia.

They had just came out of a bloody war against a tyrannical government and they wanted to make sure that would not have to happen again...

So, yeah, that's exactly what they wanted...
