It's all Britain's fault really.
We let them have too much power when they were our colony, then when we asserted our rights they weren't used to it. They kicked up a big fuss despite actually having more democratic rights than 95% of Englishmen, and ever since then have been terrified that another government will come along and try to take their liberty.
Basically in the USA it's still 1789, there's still a very really threat that the government might try and suppress them at any moment, and a well-regulated militia is needed to protect rights and freedoms.
