I think if the Naboo/Alderaan swap was the only difference that line would still work. I mean essentially the planet was peaceful, they really didnt have any weapons which is why they were so far up sh*ts creak when the trade federation came in. The only tension that existed was with the Gungans, and this was only tension cause each side was afraid of the other due to lack of knowledge (or at least thats how the Gungans felt towars the Naboo)
So at the end of the movie, this tension no longer exists and therefore they resume their peaceful ways, probably even more so due to the lack of tension.
Plus by no weapons I highly doubt that she meant there was not a single gun on the entire planet. It could just as easily mean there is really no army...yeah they have a small volunteer militia with a small cache of basic munitions, but nothing substantial...beside...in the 30 years that passed, with the Emperial rule, its possible that they truely are weaponless
