Thanks, I went back and watched it. I think it is fairly obvious it is metaphor. The context of the words of the primary speaker in the clip (2nd from left) are about women's place in the voting rights struggle and the 'fight' wrt the civil rights movement, which under Lewis and King was ALWAYS about peaceful protest and holding your ground through it. The bit about weapons is the last thing said, as a summing it up sort of thing by the host, is said not as a serious comment but in a context of glomming onto the metaphor. I'm not sure how anyone could mistake it for anything else. There is nothing in her voice or demeanor that would lend itself to any other interpretation, certainly nothing that could be mistaken for a call to take up actual arms.
Making a big deal about this particular clip is suspicious. There is literally nothing here. It looks more to me like a hit piece than anything of actual substance.
I'm always still in trouble again
