    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.

      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.

          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?

              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.

                i feel like we’ve about exhausted this line of inquiry and that maybe the two of you are just better off agreeing to disagree…?
