They can have my drone when they pry it from my cold dead hands

[Oh_That_Guy]

I really don't care about drone registration because well, I don't. But it might be interesting to see how it all comes out. The NRA will join the NDA and say our forefathers intended for us to have drones, damnit!

Was this idle musing or is there a relevant story I missed?

I am not aware of any armed drones available for the civilian market. One could build one, in theory. Not sure that would be illegal. It would be stupid, but probably not illegal.

I can build a zip gun legally with no requirement I register it (I think), but why would you unless you are in prison and need a gun?

I dunno. It might all fall under manufacture of an incendiary device.

What the fuck would a civilian want to do with an armed drone anyway?

Well, nobody said anything about armed drones so don't know what you got going on there but yes, they are illegal for civilians. Already been a case.
Otherwise what the fuck are you talking about?

As an aside... I have several buddies that have RC boats that are armed. They stage mock sea battles and try to sink each other.

I have buddies! I'm very personable.

Of course Johnny has buddies. Who wouldn't be proud to sink his battleship?

G-4, motherfucker!

I can't see the NRA being relevant if you are talking unarmed drones.

Given that they are not typically considered the voice of the defenseless.

To kill people, of course. It's a tradition. Killing people, that is.

And it's logical. Arm a personal drone and it falls under wingnut 2nd Amendment protection. "Yeah fuck I'm keeping and bearing arms -- just look at THIS baby!"

What kinds or armaments would be covered? Explosives? Shrapnel? Sabots? Poison darts? Napalm? Biologicals, like anthrax? Hey, a drone carrying one ounce of powdered plutonium could kill millions. Now THAT's what I call ARMED!

Or maybe you just want drones for smuggling. Sure, they monitor borders pretty close -- you should see the radar aerostat (blimp) flying over Ft Huachuca on the Mexican border. But a 3-foot-wide drone flying at 10-20-foot elevation with a load of heroin would be hard for sensors to detect. It's a PSD, Personal Smuggling Device. Every kid needs one.

 

[Oh_That_Guy]

They are probably going to make people register drones, people don't want to register drones. You know, kind of like guns. Holy cow people.

What is your opinion?

You siding with registration?

Or is your schtick that predictable?
