Agree......but MY MGs wouldn't be remotely operated....they'd be fully automated to shoot anything bigger than an armadillo.
I wouldn't ever want our government to operate autonomous weapons.
No, then you'd kill some actual worthwhile non-human wildlife (no sarcasm intended). Make it automatic targeting, but require remote human triggering, and I'll be happy.

I have no objection to jaguars wandering around the desert - after all, they were here first, and besides, if we get enough of them, they can eat illegal border crossers and save us the cost of ammo.
What's wrong with shooting armadillos?
