It seems rather counterproductive to call something like this "Gun". It's like they're asking for censorship of source repositories.
I see today that the app stores have banned the Parler app. A cesspit, yes (so is Twitter), but it'll be personal hardware next, and along with that will come "signed code only", with a restriction to the source libraries which the hardware vendor has approved, because otherwise we get terrorists arranging insurrections and building their own drones, right?
The name of this thing seems to be playing into that narrative. "You don't need general purpose computing unless you're doing something wrong".
