> Why do I know his stance on guns if the thing he does that I have interest in is creating software? Well, I don't know. But if I had to guess, I'd say the three most obvious avenues would be that you looked at his personal site, where he quite reasonably talks about his interests other than software; or that you looked at his personal blog, which mentions four topics in the tagline and only one of them is software; or that someone else brought them up in a context where they weren't relevant. Two of these are appropriate places for him to talk about guns, and one is no fault of his. I'm not saying he doesn't inject arguments about guns in inappropriate places. But the fact that you know his stance about guns doesn't mean he does.
