As I see it were in a losing battle here. Public opinion and the Feds are not on our side here. Although I don't really think they understand what we do. The problem is they don't care. Were just people playing with toys to them that are causing problems. They could care less that most aren't modellers they just see us a possible problem and danger to public safety. I don't think our pockets are deep enough to "buy" the right influence in DC we would need.That's the reality of the situation from where I sit.
As I have posted in the past this isn't about what the AMA has lobbied for in the past. This is about public safety along with privacy.
