No gun ever picked itself up and intentionally shot someone either , someONE was always holding it when the deed was done ........

I humbly disagree.

I challenge each and every one of you to do what those quadcopters are doing with your smallest park flyer!

My smallest foamie can't.

My smallest turbine can't.

My skills (which are incredibly lacking, both mental and flying abilities) are not good enough for me to fly in and around buildings and hover over crowds with cameras pointed at them. Once I lose sight of them, I can no longer control them in any meaningful way.

Guns sir, are a constitutionally protected right. My right to fly a model "anything" is not.
