I can understand the argument re: private property rights, exclusion of weapons on premises, etc. But isn't this somewhat unique in the annals of anti-2A sentiment. They don't even own the private property being used, and to all accounts I have seen, there are no non-public places being used for which UBER could justify such a policy on private property rights.

What's next, MSFT using their EULA to restrict 1A/2A freedoms?

I understand this is just a weasel worded policy from corp. lawyers attempting to limit liability, but it seems really retarded. I'd like to see a lawsuit that assigns liability to UBER for harm to one of its drivers or passengers attributable to this policy.
