It shouldn't need explaining that means per AMA's rules as usual. That was put out in response to the FAA's final rule on Remote ID.

If Franklin was talking about AMA refusing to to enforce their own rules for the 1,000,000 drones owners they were trying to force into joining AMA, then yeah, AMA was being negligent. But Franklin's crusade over AMA field safety is a laughable farce. I don't know know many millions of flights occur at AMA's 2,400 flying fields per year. Whatever the number it puts the lie to Franklin's claim there is a safety problem when he can only scrounge up a couple of anecdotes, some over 10 years old.

Only a moron would claim RC flying at a dedicated field was "unsafe" in the context of any other outdoor activity. Want zero risk? Stay in bed.
