Yes, but for a different reason. From the document's section on User Groups >The main focus of the group is discussion of and education about Rust software; It's a programming language, not a lifestyle brand. Not everything needs to be dragged down into US-centric culture wars. It's good that they don't want to dilute the brand and are keeping it focused on the software. If you want to go to the range with a group there are tons of meetups for that. I don't know why you would want to make one based around a programming language.
