Gun Drones

I am sure LaPierre will foam at the mouth and decry any attempt to restrict the Second Amendment from the skies.

I fail to see how this could be legal despite the PD ruling. Good that the FAA is investigating. Depends on where the drone is being flown I would guess. I do believe that space above your home up to a certain height is private and cannot be intruded.

If this is ever deemed legal, gang wars would take on new meaning.

It's interesting, but if not illegal, will be shortly.
Wayne Lapierre is the reason I will have nothing further to do with the NRA, Ted Nugent has finalized their transition to the Nutjob Radical Assholes.

Has internet hunting been made illegal?

BULVERDE, Tex. -- On a tranquil Central Texas landscape, three fallow deer wandered through live oak and cedar as a rifle barrel poked out of a small shack nearby. With a metallic click, the Remington, clutched in a motorized steel cradle without a hunter at the trigger, swiveled to track them.

The gun's scope showed the cross hairs settle right behind a buck's shoulder and hold steady, a perfect aim that would kill the animal in one clean shot -- if the hunter wanted to fire the gun. More than 1,300 miles away in Indiana, looking at his computer screen, he decided to pass. This hunter wants to bag a blackbuck antelope, and he will wait to click the computer mouse that will send the electronic signal to shoot.

It is called hunting by remote control, the brainchild of Texas entrepreneur John Lockwood, whose Internet business advertises a "real time on-line hunting and shooting experience."

"Canned hunts", considered highly unethical by pretty much everyone not profiting from them.
Ted Nugent sponsors canned hunts at his ranch in fenced areas with bait stations for paying attendees.

I looked this up. "Internet hunting" or "remote control hunting" freaks everyone out and has been widely banned. Could only find one news story of web-controlled weapons ever being found deployed.

If anyone had any doubts that hunting is primarily about killing..................

I think a remote pie in the face app would be pretty awesome.
