Personal Armed Drones and the 2nd Amendment

Tell us something we DON'T know.

Building a basic quad-copter just takes time, money and at least an average IQ. We're talking about the feasibility and legality of ARMING one (which is considerably different).

Again... outside of electric cars, wind turbines, and global warming, you are Incredibly Anti-Science.

And I'm surprised you never posted about this girl; since this could drastically effect car batteries.

This would totally be legal.

First of all... its States Rights. If the Federal government passed laws banning them, it would be equally as illegal as the Controlled Substance Act.

Second... it would totally be legal if utilized within your own home. I would much rather fly a drone down stairs to look around, in the middle of the night, then go down with my rifle. Killing intruders with a drone from your bedroom, would be far safer.

************You mean the zeroth and the first? Or did you inten to bring in entropy and I missed something.

Think about it.

Geez...THAT was helpful.

Yep. Figuring things out for yourself is always better than having to be told.
So, you're saying that there's no need for teachers and schools?

(WooooHoooo!...an opportunity to use a bogus comeback. A skill learned from the pros.)


Kennedy: Well, give me credit for at least trying to get a straight answer.


A good teacher teaches the students how to figure out things for themselves. Not that I'd expect you to know that.

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Let us know when you, pro-science guy, have perfected it.

As one who has actually built a working drone, I am inclined to agree with quade that making an effective armed drone is going to be difficult. Tell us YOUR experience of making drones that work.

Your experience making your toy has no bearing on his statement.

The one in the OPs vid seemed pretty doggone effective to me.
It did everything asked of it....and did it well.

My students get very well paying jobs. Employers like problem solvers.

You appear to know very little about teaching, but keep digging.

Apparently you missed the bit that said "Fortunately, the poor card players that went down in a hail of drone-borne gunfire last year was a family of prop dummies, and the bullets were computer generated."

It's nice to see you use "apparently" and "appear to" as opposed to the usual blind attacks.

Jes' pickin' atchya. Of course we want the help them make good decisions on their own. Leading them to come up with their own answers is a good thing...provided we just didn't leave them hanging when they miss the boat.


So you did catch the 'computer-generated' bit. Good for you.
Score 1 for you.

Tell us your personal experience of building and flying a drone, Andy.

And I'll post photos of my five "Excellence in Teaching Awards" - three more than any other prof in the 120 year history of my university.

I thought about it. I even talked to a professor and post doc at the local university. Neither was sure what you were talking about. One gave me a mind numbing "overview and summary" of laser issues today. Apparently the prof specialized in argon and argon mix lasers, and the post doc interned with an unnamed company with DARPA contracts, focusing on LaWS-like systems.

I picked the wrong people to ask.

And after your talk, do you still believe they are going to shrink to "hand held"?

I won't rule it out, but were further from it than I thought. A few revolutionary breakthroughs and we're there. That's not so far, right?

Honesty though, it's always impossible until somebody does it.

Wouldn't that depend on output power right now? But then, who knows what the future may bring. I'm waiting to see what happens.

Yes, once we get get the dilithium crystal alignment problem solved...that will do it. Remind me to ask Mr. Scott about his progress on that.

First you need to settle which is superior: photon torpedoes or proton torpedoes.

Sigh. As if it's not obvious. I swear, I am so alone.

[kallend 1,649]

Getting back to the video in the OP, the drone itself looks like a cgi from the same folks that did Avatar's war machines. I am not aware of any real drones that are controlled in that way (basically because it's a silly way to do it).

You just may be onto something there.
OTOH, you may be simplistically subscribing to JK's Future Prediction Machine. GIGO.

That drone in the video is 100% CGI, its from FPSRussia channel on Youtube. It was done up for one of the Call Of Duty video game launches a year or two year back. The Pentagon when nuts when the video was released since they thought it was real and demanded to know how to get them. It was a huge joke at the time and its still a joke.
