The video does not show the start of the conversation, so we don't know how the two men approached Arbery. They may have been calm and collected, and then Arbery saw the weapon and went for it. As such, this is self-defense, full-stop.
And maybe you should read the second amendment again. "Not to be infringed" means exactly that.
Because you are putting the chasing and the gun as exclusive to each other. They didn't chase him down WITH the gun, they chased him down WHILE HAVING a gun. And as the video clearly shows, Mr. Arbery attacked the two men, including the final attack which led to him being shot.
"Arbery's mental health records and prior convictions help explain his apparent aggressive nature and his possible thought pattern to attack an armed man."
Ok, good point. But still, why approach the person yourself if you suspect ahead of time the person is dangerous. That too, with a gun pointed at him? I know if I had a gun pointed at I wouldn’t be thinking clearly. I’d probably think I’d have a better chance disarming the guy than running like Rickon Stark.
There's nothing that said the gun was pointed at him when he was approached. So if it was being held onto, why did he go for it? People carry around guns all the time in Georgia.

Not sure how you see self defense here when they chased him down with a gun though...
