This stuff gives me a headache.
How many "quad copters" have killed people?
When people, media, government, and even you folks right here discuss this issue. It sounds like hundreds of people have already lost their lives and we need to do something to stop it. I mean it sounds totally ridiculous. When you step back and look at the problem, I'm not so sure there is even a problem.
If the laws that are already on the books for this type of stuff were enforced. I.E. you damage someone else's property or cause bodily damage you will be held personally responsible.
There is a moron that gets into a car, drives to a bar, gets ripped, then drives home and kills someone everyday.
Cars are still legal, alcohol is still legal, and people can still be people. If the moron is caught, he gets charged with whatever crime and goes to jail.
So if everyone was as passionate about drinking and driving as some of you, the media, and government are about quad copters, we'd all have to blow into a tube to start our cars before we could go anywhere. Even though most of us (lets say 98%) are responsible and have never had too much to drink and then got behind the wheel.
