I remain unconvinced that this is still our mother’s era, where being armed Texas style could change outcomes to favor the citizenry. Your universities have drones all over the skies in every region of the US, and this is before you count the intelligence agencies and the military. Who even knows what sort of new and secret urban warfare science is yet out there. This against revolvers in purses and hunting guns in pick ups makes for a new era technological challenge to the old school Saturday night rumble. Quite a gap problem.
I agree with you. We’ve allowed our rights to be taken away a little at a time. This won’t be like the 1700s where it took the enemy a month to ship an army across the Atlantic. Now, the enemy is right here and much better armed.

I agree with you 100%
Groups Concerned Over Arming of Domestic Drones:

Chief Deputy Randy McDaniel of the Montgomery County Sheriffs Office in Texas told The Daily that his department is considering using rubber bullets and tear gas on its drone.
Those are things that law enforcement utilizes day in and day out and in certain situations it might be advantageous to have this type of system on the UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) .
You assume that the military and the agencies would act against the citizens. That is not the take I get.
My father-in-law was in the weapons business 40 years. I know many of his old employees and friends. They will not be turned.
Some of my OKie friends in McAlester and some of my Texas friends in Amarillo supply the talons for our birds. I know the type of people who furnish such stuff. They are still patriots.
