You don't read the comments you respond to? Like I said, my country doesn't have those problems.
Again, simplifying and not specifying who should have one. You think every person everywhere should have a 247 drone buddy filming them?
Show me how an average person can use just 50$ to have a constant 247 4k filming surveillance drone on them. Link a product then.
No, my country isn't what you think it is, you donkey. Literally. I already told you you're assuming wrong and you just go right ahead and double down on your mistake. sigh
If you're saying you're not American, it wasn't obvious from the context.
By the way the drone is not for surveillance. It came up in the context of guns, so I would think it were obvious what drone usage was intended. I'll not go into it here, but if you want a hint look up the state of the modern battlefield in Ukraine. Guns are almost irrelevant.
Frankly having a signal jammer and a cheap tethered drone is all you need to solve problems even a gun can't solve. Oh, and joining an improv group, if you know what I mean.
And nothing I said even remotely implied I am American, yet you just decided to assume that. Why, pray tell?
What did we talk about assumptions? How are we supposed to read your mind about these hare-brained implications you keep throwing out, but refuse to actually specify?
Are you now suggesting eveyone should constantly have a tethered drone with 4k cameras, which operates autonomously btw, and has like a payload of explosives. And this you say can be acquired by anyone with 50 dollars.
And you wonder why people are weirded out?
Drones are a tool of the modern battlefield. A tethered drone does not need to fly autonomously. Of course you can program for autonomy if you have the skills, and the autonomous task for armed resistance is not overly complicated, could be as simple as a straight line path.
Can't be had for 50 dollars (I didn't say this), but learning to fly and build drones like that is available to just about anyone, and inexpensively. Moreover drones have non-killing civilian applications - SAR, emergency services, videography - so the skillset can be built without raising concerns or attention.
Ordnance is added later as needed.
Entirely hypothetical, of course. I'm not suggesting anything, but I will point out that the 2nd Amendment seems to have done absolutely nothing but cost the lives of hundreds, perhaps thousands, including young children. When it comes to it, the guns are useless. They ended up being a fashion accessory bathed in the blood of toddlers.
Go see a psychiatrist.
Not sure what the paste above has to do with seeing a psychiatrist. I stated technical facts about drones.
It might have made sense if you'd tied your advice to loosely evidenced geopolitical claims. You could argue they are conspiratorial.
Did you just run out of things to say?
So, first you imply everyone should have a drone, as "they're a 50 dollar toy". I ask who would be flying it and for what reason, and you refuse to specify, and then go on about how wired drones don't need to be autonomous and start rambling on about payloads and geopolitical situations.
So you think you can fly a wired drone while you're driving a car or doing something else and that said wired drone is a "50 dollar toy" despite you clearly describing military hardware?
Go. See. A. Mental. Health. Professional.
