Most people don't understand just how far the consumer market has advanced. I fly drones, I build them, I mod them. I have a drone I fly with VR goggles. It's range is only limited by it's battery. It can carry nearly twenty pounds. Imagine what you could do with such a thing if you had bad intentions. The thing is, the Second Amendment is not about "guns". It's about "arms", and those arms are not meant to be stuck in the 1700's. The Second applies to drones. It applies to murder bots. It applies to all military arms.

Fly your drone around these parts gets one warning then a .273 Winchester snipers round. Quoting: Teslahowitzer 74551360 Airports, private property, pools, etc...... It’s a risk you take knowingly. Deal with it. Your drone has no rights. Exactly. Fully agree. Shoot it down. Assholes will be using drones to stalk or harrass (or worse). All the more reason to retain gun ownership in the US (self-defense). |

Even if a drone isn't considered arms, flying your drone within range over my property is trespassing at the very least.
