My first brush with the word "Drone" was in high school, in the 80's. I remember using it with friends to describe them similarly the way you would use the term Airhead. Ah, you Drone! or Shutup ya Drone, was some high school lingo of my time.
But I live in Jersey, I own a couple guns. Just to give an example of how
The Media and
Law Makers can pass laws and have no idea what they are talking about.
This, Marlin XT-22TR Bolt Action Rifle .22 LR (.22 caliber) is considered an "Assault Rifle" because it can hold 17 rounds. If I get caught with this in Jersey I will go to Jail, 3-5 years.
However, this Barrett semi-automatic .50 caliber rifle, which holds 10 rounds, is legal without the muzzle break.
I'm just posting this to show people how ridiculous The Media and the public, including our elected officials can be. Like Josh said in the latest pod cast, You have to watch the words that are used. People will just hear "SUV" or "Assault Rifle" or "Drone" and think of one thing and think its bad. I think that public perception of certain things is greatly influenced be organizations that would like to tell you something is bad and you should be afraid of it. And I think it all goes down hill from there.
But like it or not, Amazon, showing delivery by Quad copter as I see it actually helped in a way. Because a lot of people I know were talking about that after it was announced. That does show a "Drone" doing something good for people. Shows that drones are not all bad.
