Re: "I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one Boss. We the People have the right to bear arms. We should also have the same right to have and use drones and laser pointers."
I'm with Zimbler0. We're a free people, are we not? Woe unto us when our government - which exists to serve us, remember - decides it must ban useful things because someone who doesn't understand their use deems them dangerous. I'm still ticked off that I can't find either ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfate at any of my local garden stores. I *loved* that stuff. A small amount was wonderful for a garden or lawn. (Too much, of course, would burn the heck out of them, but I soon learned.)

As time passes, there will be more and more inventions and discoveries with the potential to be abused. The question is, are we going to continue surrendering our liberties for the sake of innovation and development, or are we going to re-learn what we once knew, that freedom comes with both risk and responsibility? The statement "Give me liberty or give me death" was uttered a LONG time ago. Americans used to swear by it. I'm not so sure they do anymore.
