This is one of the issue with the control debate, most don't know it's real history and do go off into ti-raids with their own bias.
The history goes all way back to 1101, but is more relevant in the 1600s. Seriously, look here for what "To Bear Arms" really meant, and why the phrase it's self is a misunderstanding.
Beyond that, the "Control" was simply religious persecution, and had nothing to do with the "will" or "freedom" of people. It was zealotry.
