In which countries?

England and Switzerland come to the top of my mind, I’ll need to dig for a comprehensive list.

Nearly all of them, at least up through the end of the Napoleonic Wars.

I believe it became less popular with the popular revolutions of 1848 and the advent of universal conscription.

I'm not a historian, but this doesn't match my understanding; that true weapons like swords and crossbows tended to be restricted, and peasants used scythes, clubs, etc. instead.

Arround 1400, the King proclaimed that "every Englishman or Irishman dwelling in England must have a bow of his own height", at one point Tennis was banned to give more time to bow practice. By 1500s every man had to buy his 7 year old son a bow and teach him how to use it, and a bow+arrows must be kept in everyones house.

Crossbows on the other hand were practically banned, but this was more because a highly skilled longbowman was more deadly

That's fairly unique to England, though, whose military power relied on longbows in a way not matched by rivals.
