The quiet whirring of the drone's propellers gives way to the sound of gunshots — pop, pop, pop, pop — in the 14-second video titled "Flying Gun."
The YouTube video of a drone-mounted handgun firing rounds into the Connecticut woods — and a companion video of a flying flamethrower lighting up a spit-roasting Thanksgiving turkey — have reignited efforts by state legislators to make it a crime to weaponize an unmanned aerial vehicle.
While the Federal Aviation Administration mulls regulations on drones, a number of states have established their own rules — though most of them focus on drone-mounted cameras as threats to privacy and security. Connecticut would be one of the first to restrict how drone owners can modify their craft into potentially dangerous weapons.

HMMMM, I bet I know where we could fly one of these....HMMMMMMMM????

Wait 'til these slimy bloodsucking, pedophilic, alcoholic, bribe taking losers REALLY start focusing on drones.
They're a gold mine!
Application fees. Renewal fees. Background check fees. "Registration" fees. Surcharges for high end models. "Surcharges" ('dedicated' to some agency, of course. And, of course, that will be another lie).
Administration surcharges. Added taxes. Fines for "noncompliance". Probably have to buy a "sticker". Every year.
Of course there will be an "application", where one must divulge all info. A new department of government will eventually be created.
The fun is endless.
Keep cheering.
Needs to be used on Hillary!
