That is the thesis you have to defend.
Are there other revolutionary principles involved in a holistic approach to resistance? Yes, but you didn't appeal to any of them in your OP.

I am not ant-gun ownership. I probably own more firearms than you do. What I oppose is the rampant romanticism used by many call themselves 2nd amendment advocates.
Have fun at work.
