Don't misquote me; guns scare me, so I wouldn't say that.
However, a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Having guns doesn't specifically prevent the development of a police state but key incidents can spark the revolution which results in the overthrow of the regime and establishment of a new government, as specified in our own Declaration of Independence. For example: the government outlaws guns and negates the Second Amendment or, unlawfully imposed Martial Law or Homeland Security decides to start hauling certain peoples off to those FEMA camps.
