A little bit of column A, a little bit of column B I'd say. Part of it I'm sure is ironic, but at the same time, the US as a country is fracturing and falling apart. Minorities should be arming themselves because when shit hits the fan, they're gonna wish they were armed. That's not to say that I think anyone wants it that way, but that's the truth of it. Also sadly, trans people in the US are at high risk for violence. If you're trans in the US, you should probably have a CCW of some form, whether it's mace, a knife or a gun. Not that a Mossberg would fit in a purse, but having a shotgun for home defense isn't that bad of an idea.
There's also something kinda cute about traditional cowboy dad getting his trans daughter a gun to defend herself with. It's somehow wholesome despite the presence of a gun and accompanying implications.
