The dangers are real, and the need for strict controls.

Why parrot the liberal and statist talking points?

If the dangers of plastic flying helicopters require strict controls then aren't strict controls even more needed for something dangerous, like a gun?

Any contraption you can think of can be weaponized. I don't need to list them, since anybody who has watched the news, or served in the Middle East knows how many ways people with bad ideas have been able to wreak havoc.

It is true that as technology advances drone and robot based weapons will exist, and in fact they ultimately may join the class of weapons protected by the 2nd Amendment.

There are dozens of ways that someone with evil intent could cause problems at a stadium full of people, and certainly defending against them is something security teams should be doing. But singling out one type of device when it really isn't any different than many others, and is less of a risk in many ways, is just an example of government trying to grow, and trying to expand its power without any real justification or ability to do anything.

Assume for a minute that it became illegal to launch a drone to fly over a stadium (it essentially is already). Would such a law actually stop a terrorist from doing so? Of course not.

Look. She may have a point, but this reads awfully like one of those congressional commission reports where some inside the beltway consultants working at some association or think tank or politically connected consultancy are seeking a bunch of federal bucks to hold meetings and write reports.

But that's the DC swamp cynic in me speaking.

Why parrot ignorant and irresponsible talking points?
I figure people do that to feel good about themselves.
Suggest you read up on the subject and try to influence the best outcome.

I just rememberecd the “rc car chase” in “The Dead Pool”.
My but times do change.
