I never said that having guns magically stops the development of a police state.
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.
{2nd amendment} Those guys seem to know more about these things that I do.
Also, take a look at Switzerland....

Guns are deeply rooted within Swiss culture - but the gun crime rate is so low that statistics are not even kept.
The country has a population of six million, but there are estimated to be at least two million publicly-owned firearms, including about 600,000 automatic rifles and 500,000 pistols.
I bet they don't get a lot of break-in's either....
