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 saying gun owners are not licensed to use rust or anything.



> 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?


“It’s not politics, just everyone should think the same as me because I am right.”


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