It's your license, but owning firearms somehow makes you violent? Certainly sounds like an elaborate troll to me.

Even if you could somehow iron out the kinks, the end result of your sort of action is a host of additional licenses that bar the various bête noires of their various authors, eventually leading to code that simply can't be used together because of conflicting moral obligations. I really don't want to have to run a program just to sort out the ethical dependencies of the stuff in my Gemfile.

Yes, all those points and more :)

While I don't consider everyone who owns a firearm to be violent - firearms are instruments of violence.
