Government registration/regulation of drones versus guns: What's the diff?

[bripat9643]

If government is going to heavily regulate domestic Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones by requiring registration and permits - why shouldn't the same be done with guns? After all, guns can easily be mounted on drones.

What do you think?

Drones aren't protected by the bill of rights. I'm generally opposed to government regulating drones. The only justification is the hazard they post to aircraft. However, I think the regulation should be limited to keeping them away from airports.

There is no constitutional right to UAVs. But you knew that.

So why are they allowed.

Because legislation is lacking.

Do you not think we could have guns without the 2nd Amendment?

Perhaps, but the 2nd prohibits the federal government from infringing upon the right. No legislation can legally alter that prohibition.

Not true. The 2nd Amendment means whatever Congress and the Supreme Court say it means. The 2nd is not absolute.

That's the view of people who wipe their ass on the Constitution.

Just register your guns and stop whining.

You will never get compliance.

Registration of guns is unconstitutional...

What do you think?

Quit calling radio-controlled toys and models 'drones.'

This is a 'drone.'

This is a toy.

I'm beginning to think confusing the two is deliberate to reduce negative outcry over military drone ops. "What's the big deal with a drone war?" and people bring to mind some harmless toy instead of what's really involved.

Toy? No, that's an unmanned aerial vehicle - a flying robot.
