Being armed does NOT give you political power. At least not by itself. In this video, I break down the four steps to actually build political power in the real world, and talk about the role firearms play in that.
This is true, being organized with a lot of dudes with guns gives you power.
Political power comes from your community.
Firearms in the hands of a trained community force with an active logistical, communication, and security network is required deterrence.
Or another way, “guns are one tool to defend political power, once you have built it.”
