There's no way in hell I'd ever go to an event where people are allowed to carry firearms. What the fuck? People with guns make any place unsafe, not safer.

  Uninteresting, but irrellevant, because what does that have to do with copyrighting a trademark?

  That's cool, you don't have to attend. The weird part is having a long list of intrusive requirements for even just running a small meetup that uses the Rust trademark. Same with the bizarre swag rules and code of conduct requirement. The Rust Foundation should respect diversity and let organizers set rules appropriate for their local culture and environment, rather than trying to prescribe one size fits all policies by using trademark law as a bludgeon.

    If anything, allowing guns scares away people that would actually qualify as 'diverse'. "Gun carrier" is not a protected class.

      Protected class in the civil rights sense, no. In the second amendment sense, it very much is.

    No guns is not intrusive, it’s sane. Everywhere in the world.

      The comment right below yours describes how this effectively bans events on public property in Georgia, because they passed a law to address this precise issue. Other states may have similar laws. Was the Rust Foundation even aware of this? Regardless, this is the expected outcome when top-down intrusive decision making fails to account for regional and cultural diversity.

        Great, then no Rust events for Georgia. Good riddance. If a state goes above and beyond to force guns in unrelated events, then good for the Rust foundation to go above and beyond on keeping their attendees safe. I have no idea what mental gymnastics you make to think forcing event organizations to allow guns is not intrusive but the opposite is.
