I let myself become confused by what I perceived as hyperbole.
I think the idea that we can protect our rights without a large -- perhaps the largest -- lobbying, litigating, and political action organization is hard to credit. I'm not saying it's too big to fail, and I'm not saying it has to be any particular organization, but creating one from scratch, or near as scratch in the case of the SAF, is a pretty heavy lift.
I think that the best approach is probably to try to fix the NRA, as is Ms. J's clear intent, rather than suggesting that it's unnecessary.
