The United States has had a high level of gun ownership for several hundred years.
SWATting and police militarization seems to have started after the September 11, 2001 attack in New York.
Regardless of your opinion on the issue, it's pretty clear that "gun ownership" and "police kicking down doors" don't correlate.
