Something I’ve come to realize is the my position on the necessity of the 2nd Amendment — and having the skill to use arms in a time of defense against tyranny — is routinely misunderstood by a lot of people in this political space. Often because they want a single solution in isolation, and for whatever reason can’t fathom that it requires multiple things in conjunction. Having guns is just one critical pillar of resistance against tyranny. And I think Matt Forney is basically trying to make this point in his Twitter post — what he’s saying is that organization is an overlooked critical pillar. It’s hard to disagree with him here.

He argues that the debate on whether having guns is necessary or not is fundamentally flawed. Because It doesn’t matter if you lack organization. I agree, in the sense that you need both. Both are critical.

I prefer the analogy involving pillars, because you need more than one pillar to hold up a structure. One pillar is not enough.
