The Oregon Legislature is examining whether to remove legal language that allows weaponization of unmanned aircraft systems, commonly referred to as drones.

Legislation passed in 2013 prevented public bodies — including police departments, but not private citizens — from operating armed drones.

House Bill 4066, sponsored by Rep. John Huffman, R-The Dalles, would make it a Class A misdemeanor to operate a drone that can fire a bullet or is otherwise a dangerous weapon. The bill would make it a Class A violation if a drone operator shines a laser from a drone, crashes into another aircraft or prevents an aircraft from landing.

HB 4066 would also require public agencies collecting data like video or audio via drones to have a public policy about how that data is used and stored.

No sense in making laws for shit that's a problem.   Let's just dream up hypothetical shit and make it illegal.

Well that will surely stop the robot up rising.


I for one, feel safer.


I will later pledge allegiance to our robot overlords.

I thought putting a gun on a drone was already prohibited by the ATF.  There was a thread that had a youtube video with a drone firing a handgun while flying around.



I may be wrong though.

Guns, meh. A drop switch with a gallon of gas and an ignitor on it is money.
