Don't confuse readers with facts. There are far too many "what if" arguments that could be cited....<rolling eyes>.....
I didn't see ant planes or helicopters at risk in this video, but I didn't watch the whole 5 minutes of nothing, please point out the time maker where you saw at risk aircraft, thanks
So no actual aircraft in the video then? Just more whiny what iffers? Thought so
So do planesThe FAA doesn't regulate fireworks, but does regulate UAVs. Flying over private homes is wrong. Drones drop from the sky, unannounced and injure people. Thus the rules.

Your suggestion of what the FAA should have implemented last year is a logical one. I wish the same was in affect for gun ownership.It's not "good for you".......................... it's "responsible"
If the FAA wanted to accomplish anything last year, they should have started with this simple rule ....................
any persons flying a uav heavier than 2 lbs (outside of their OWN private property) must register and show proof of at least $250k liability Insurance, and.........
give local police the authority to ask for proof of both, (not tell folks where they can fly, but ask for registration and ins or issue citation).
That is very simple (start) and at least holds flyers accountable, whether they claim "hobbyist" or not).
I did not post in this thread to piss you off licensed pilot, it is very clear that You follow the rules, but you are always over-the-top on everyone who is Not you.
Of course we will eventually have accidents, just like death by lawnmower, meteorite, hippo, lightning strike. Any human on the planet is at some risk. The odds of you being killed by a swarm of bees is much higher than death by drone. Let's be reasonable here please.
Registration
Insurance
Fly Responsibly
If you drive your car like an idiot, operate your lawnmower like an idiot, or fly your drone like an idiot, you will be, and should be, charged with "Reckless Endangerment"
My post is about the 'hobbyist in the USA", (the commercial guys like myself should have these two things, PLUS most of the other stuff posted in other threads about 333 and 107).

And helicopters....almost monthly. And they weigh 2 tons. Nobody seems to care about that, though. It's the 3 lb. drone that is "dangerous." Morons.So do planes
Why are you trying to silence this thread? It has been mildly amusing. Why not just unsubscribe or at least stop posting? Not everyone shares your views.
