After 9 members of their ethics board resigned...
June 6 (Reuters) - Taser-maker Axon Enterprise Inc (AXON.O) said it was halting a project to equip drones with stun guns to combat mass shootings, a reversal that did not stop most of its ethics advisory board members from announcing their resignation on Monday in protest over the original plans.
The May 24 school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, which killed 19 children and two teachers, prompted Axon to announce last week it was working on a drone that first responders could operate remotely to fire a Taser at a target about 40 feet (12 m) away.

I hate to say it, but these
I hate to say it, but these will be the "good ole days" regarding where this is all headed.
I suspect drones will be used by all factions to inflict harm upon others from great distances with great precision.
Imagine a drone version of the "Night of the Long Knives"!
Even living in the mountains with a gazillion nooks/crannies, caves, tunnels, etc. the payload from drones will always loom

I'd wager this Supreme Court would affirm my right to own an armed drone.

If you aren't thinking about
If you aren't thinking about how to secure the big drone base outside of Las Vegas in the coming civil war you aren't thinking about how to win it. We have seen how this plays out.
A3: Azerbaijani drones were the center of attention in this war. Although Armenia deployed some of their own indigenously produced drones, and later footage showed their side using the more sophisticated Russian-made Orlan-10 UAV, it was Azerbaijan who took control of the skies.
As numerous recent reports have argued, these weapons were game-changing. Azerbaijani drones provided significant advantages in ISR as well as long-range strike capabilities. They enabled Azerbaijani forces to find, fix, track, and kill targets with precise strikes far beyond the front lines. UAVs were operationally integrated with fires from manned aircraft and land-based artillery but also frequently used their own ordinance to destroy various high-value military assets. Open-source reporting suggests that drones contributed to disabling a huge number of Armenian tanks, fighting vehicles, artillery units, and air defenses. Their penetration of Nagorno-Karabakh’s deep rear also weakened Armenian supply lines and logistics, facilitating later Azerbaijani success in battle.

Since I was not able to secure my 88mm, I'm gonna hit em hard with the only other ammo I got - Music
I figure a little Steve Vai should keep the enemy at bay.
At all costs never play any GD music,, the mere tuning up would encourage the enemy to stomp the shit out of our fairy dust heads.
