Pretty much so. Think about this carefully.........rather than paying 5 bucks to register with FAA and have the local cops enforce their lenient rules, would you really rather have the city of Tyler make the rules? My guess is that somewhere between many and most local political entities would take the easy way out when it comes to regulation/enforcement, and that is to ban R/C flying within the boundaries of their cognizance altogether.
