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.

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?
