    Gun people and Open Source people both can appreciate the right to repair, although Americans, particularly southerners, have a certain tendency to have more gunowners across the land than people who can libreboot a chromebook. Both groups of people can use their devices for good or bad, and I think that was the original message the oop failed to relay; I don’t really know what they think they’re saying.

      you’ve got the right idea. I was going a little more fundamental though. More along the lines of “we have the right to libreboot a chromebook if we wish” just as they “have the right to own a gun legally, if they wish”

      From that standpoint they’re very similar, and tie in to a lot of the same underlying points.
