Perhaps. But restricting it must be done carefully, or you will end up with a disarmed populace, against well armed corporate security.

Aren't corporations just the populace too?

Exactly - so they shouldn't be able to buy themselves more rights by hiring "registered/official" security. Sure it's technically available to everyone, but they can choose their clients, they have to jump through regulatory hoops (and, realistically, political connections), and are unaffordable to most. The end result is a widened power gap.
