    I must have missed the new laws that have a mandatory 3 day waiting period to buy a new drone, drones can only be purchased from a licensed dealer, dealers have to check against a national registry that a buyer is not prohibited from buying one, felons can’t buy drones, and that straw purchasing a drone is a federal offense. Must have missed all that.

      I mean there are literally areas where commercial drones can’t fly, as in the software won’t allow it. The tracking and registration system is certainly a bit more robust than guns. While all the rules aren’t the same, you would expect it because, unlike guns, there are a lot of uses for drones besides killing things.
