The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is warning the general public that it is illegal to operate a drone with a dangerous weapon attached.
Perhaps you’ve seen online photos and videos of drones with attached guns, bombs, fireworks, flamethrowers, and other dangerous items. Do not consider attaching any items such as these to a drone because operating a drone with such an item may result in significant harm to a person and to your bank account.
Operating a drone that has a dangerous weapon attached to it is a violation of Section 363 of the 2018 FAA Reauthorization Act enacted Oct. 5, 2018. Operators are subject to civil penalties up to $25,000 for each violation, unless the operator has received specific authorization from the Administrator of the FAA to conduct the operation. “Dangerous Weapon” means any item that is used for, or is readily capable of, causing death or serious bodily injury.
Operators should keep in mind that federal regulations and statutes that generally govern drone operations still apply. Some state and federal criminal laws regarding weapons and hazardous materials may also apply to drone operators or manufacturers involved in certain operations.
We have a right to 21st century “Arms”.
At least, stunt video it and upload it to YouTube.
Just keep your phasers set to “STUN” and you should be just fine
Everything is illegal and banned.
However, covered under the over ruling InterGalactic treaty, I can legally possess my 50 megawatt, plasma gamma ray drone.
I accidentally blasted a cow field and made pizza.
I want one. No, I want six.

I, for one, think Ring is useless without one of those. Pointless to be able to see and talk to the guy breaking into your house, unless you can tell him “Surprise, m***********!”
That obviously doesn't exclude bombarding ANTIFA with pouches of feces and urine.
