Probably because one of the reasons behind that amendment was to guarantee that the southern states could keep their armed slave patrols that they needed to keep their black slaves from revolting.
This streak of racism behind this amendment has never disappeared. It is not coincidence that most of the gun control laws that have managed to get passed were targeted to preventing black people from owning or carrying guns.
