Hi Porcia,

I really don't think a "ban drones" movement is an answer. Instead, as another member stated, the AMA, right off the bat should have educated the FAA, Senate and even the general public on these vast differences. Instead, they took the approach that :"we're all modelers and although we fly different things, we all deserve the protections that the AMA offers. Sounds great, but they really missed the boat with regards to the enhanced capability of autonomous drones. They should have approached them separately, kind of like what they're are trying to do now. Now they're trying to make a distinction between traditional model aircraft and autonomous vehicles, but it's a little late.
