Yeah, I’d recommend people do whatever it is that they want to do, given that they understand the dangers.
I would like to own a firearm, not for my safety so I’d probably keep it at the gun range, but I know that I am not mentally stable so I don’t go and get a firearm, I could but nothing anyone will say is going to stop me if I actually wanted to buy one.
My recommendation for people to arm themselves isn’t going to encourage to or dissuade anyone from doing so. They already fear for their lives and they have a right to own them so who am I to say that that shouldn’t? Jesus Christ?

Then literally why say it?
they have a right to own them
Yeah, and maybe they shouldn’t. There’s lots of dangerous shit you have no right to possess. Guns should be in that category. And for the record, I don’t believe the government should be sending armed people to enforce shit either.
Where in my original comment did I say that, in general, I recommend that people purchase firearms?
Even if they shouldn’t, that’s what the government is for, not me. Exercise the rights you have, you nor I have the authority to tell people otherwise.
Anything else is fascism and I’d rather not be hypocritical in my beliefs.
You heavily implied that people of color, at least, should purchase firearms.
What? When the government tells you what your rights are that’s good and normal, but when a random person tells you what your rights are that’s fascism? Nothing about that makes any sense at all.
Why should I have to deny anything when I fully believe that this line of questioning was pulled out of thin air? I’ll note, that you did not simply ask if this is the generalization I was making and the these statements make very little sense.
What part of “people not needing to purchase firearms because of hate and discrimination being ludicrous” is hard to get? Obviously, not everyone needs to have a firearm but to say to someone that things like racial discrimination are not reason to arm yourself is ludicrous.
Shit, people will walk into an LGBTQ+ friendly club and start shooting.
you are saying that discrimination is a reason to arm yourself. people are being discriminated against. therefore, you are saying people should arm themselves. what about this is so hard to understand?

Smart woman.

Heavily implied? So you’re assuming that I’m making a generalization without actually having made said generalization?
sigh
Alright, what WAS I supposed to take from your post if not “minorities should arm themselves”?
I will also note that you did not initially deny that you had been making such a recommendation.

Apparently it is hard for you to understand that not everyone generalizes populations to such an extreme extent as you.
You’re assuming the meaning of the statement and all you had to do was ask for clarification but I suppose you never really wanted clarification.
