This is yet another example of Rust people forcing their political messages on people. Most techies are progressive to the point of cringe and have no understanding of the issues they are pontificating about.
if someone has a legal right to carry a weapon in their state do not demand that right be taken away for a frivolous reason

How is "I don't want to be shot during a programming convention" a frivolous reason?

Conferences typically don’t have metal detectors and bag search. If someone wants to shoot you at a conference nothing stands in their way. By stopping a legal gun carry you are achieving nothing much more than punishing someone for exercising a right you don’t like
Guns have no place at a programming language conference, it's as simple as that, it's not about imposing politics.
I'm sure they don't care if attendees carry weapons outside of the conference, they're not demanding users of rust give up their guns or anything.

“It’s not politics, just everyone should think the same as me because I am right.”
> Guns have no place at a programming language conference
I don't have anything against a rule about not carrying weapons... but why mention it in a trademark draft?
I am sure we both can think about a lot of things that "have no place at a programming language conference", but surprisingly these are not included in that draft. Why?

Rly. Why should petty tyranny or totalitarianism have a seat at a programming language conference?

What place do guns have in a document about protecting a trademark?
