Regulate, tax, regulate, tax. I wonder if an applicant with a Muslim name would be looked at the same as any other American. Probably not since that would be racist, right?
Muslims seem to be the group interested in killing Americans and any other infidel, right? Let’s see what a complete background check might look like, expired visas? Then, go arrest them and send them home. Obama is planning to bring 85,000 Syrians in which is sure to be laced with some ISIS.
Question I have is how do they know who the current drone owners are? This may be like the gun issue. Register your drone now or else. If you are a criminal you don’t get a gun license. If you don’t want the feds to know that you have a drone you don’t tell them that you have one. I agree with BEN DOVER, this is just another tax disguised as the federal govt watching out for the citizens.
How about instead of regulating/registering drones–make airspace over your personal property inviolate, and that any drone violating it becomes subject to forfeiture/seizure/target practice.
Cuts down on governmental red tape. Improves accuracy for home owners/renters, and maybe people will reign in their perv urges a bit.
As far as public/federal venues go? Knock ’em out of the sky.
Not all drones are bad. The insurance industry is beginning to use them to access damage in otherwise unreachable areas. Also use them to access roof damage to homes from hail or wind storm. Amazon plans to use them to deliver packages faster to you. So you’re proposing to be allowed to shoot them down with your gun if they fly over your property? Really smart.
Companies (like in our industry) using drones to make work safer and more accurate–good thing.
Pervs using drones to take peeping-tom behavior to entirely lower levels–bad thing.
I have no issues with the first. But the law unfortunately frowns on me protecting my privacy, on my property, if someone flies their drone in my yard to spy on me/my family. Something’s terribly wrong with that.
Jon, just saw a story from Ozark, Mo about a man and wife getting the Peeping Tom treatment They got up early in the morning, he in his boxers and she in her robe and happened to look out the window to see a drone hovering right next to the window. They reported it and the city council will be making up new regulations with penalties. It didn’t mention if they caught the operator, but it is likely to be a neighbor. I hope they catch this pervert.
That’s actually already been discussed. They are still defined as aircraft and it’s still a federal crime to shoot down an aircraft. That’s actually one regulation I like.
Besides, do you really want neighbors popping off rounds at drones? Bullets land somewhere. OK if they land in your backyard where your kids are playing?
Also, what if you just damage it? It’s going to crash somewhere. Again, OK if its in your back yard…or into/through your roof?
InsGuy, shotguns work just fine to knock these drones down when they are hovering over property where they shouldn’t be. No worries about stray bullets. About any bird pellet will do the trick.
And nobody ever misses, especially in a neighborhood. Also, after firing in the woods, with nobody around for miles, the result would probably be the same as somewhere with a house right by it, kids, cars, dogs, etc. Again, you make another excellent point guided by reason, intelligence, rational thought, and a reality-based worldview.

On a different note, have you seen the video of the kid/student from CT(?) that modified a drone with a mounted pistol and camera for aiming? He was shown pulverizing a tree with the mounted gun.
Missed that. I guess in one way he’s doing no more than his government is already doing. Except that the weaponry in the Fed drones are much more deadly. Ask the bits and pieces of various ex-terrorists scattered around the world.
Yes, of course the Fed Drones are huge compared to most of these little prop drones that are used as peeping toms over private property. Those Hellfire missiles are very deadly and many evildoers have been sent to receive their 72 virgins.
Come and take it!
Register….aka tax and license. Get ready to bend over.
Regulate, regulate, regulate.

Agent,
Are you recommending they impose stricter regulations on those with Muslim names?
If so, what would you suggest be put in place?
Muslims seem to be the group interested in killing Americans and any other infidel, right? Let’s see what a complete background check might look like, expired visas? Then, go arrest them and send them home. Obama is planning to bring 85,000 Syrians in which is sure to be laced with some ISIS.
Actually yes, that would by definition be racist, idiot.

I fully understand that.

That’s right, because the pellets inside are made of water vapor and disperse after impact. I forgot.
Anyone with any duck hunting experience knows that shotgun pellets fall harmlessly after dispersing.
And nobody ever misses, especially in a neighborhood. Also, after firing in the woods, with nobody around for miles, the result would probably be the same as somewhere with a house right by it, kids, cars, dogs, etc. Again, you make another excellent point guided by reason, intelligence, rational thought, and a reality-based worldview.

Cool, but alarming at the same time.

The 72 virgins thing is actually a mistranslated verse, which has been repeated by morons over and over.
