As the FAA dickers with trying to find six ‘safe’ testing areas for drones, DHS continues down the path of new ‘public safety’ drones…
The Department of Homeland Security is advancing its plan to use surveillance drones for “public safety” applications, announcing last week that it had received a deluge of “excellent” responses from potential vendors and was set to carry out more tests of the technology.
From Infowars, HERE.
Now the FAA says there will not be any ‘armed’ drones allowed over the US…
“We currently have rules in the books that deal with releasing anything from an aircraft, period. Those rules are in place and that would prohibit weapons from being installed on a civil aircraft,” said Mr. Williams, who heads the FAA’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration Office, formed last year to shepherd drones into already-crowded American skies and integrate drone use with the manned-aircraft system
(bold/italics mine) Note the rules ONLY apply to civilian drones, which the DHS ones would NOT be…

Now when you add in the CIA director Brennen, and the Prez death lists, anybody want to bet there won’t be armed drones flying in the US in the next couple of years???
I sure as hell don’t…

I never thought that I’d need AA sights and a mount for my sixty, but I guess that I do now.
I’m not even cool with having unarmed RPAs flying over US territory (the border being an exception). There’s just too much potential for abuse. I don’t care what kind of safeguards are put in place, there will be abuses. Not to mention the safety issues of filling the skies with remotely piloted aircraft.
I swear it’s 1984 come true.
Not just Big Brother, but newspeak as well.
“Public safety” my a$$…
I see this company’s stock increasing.

I’m sure that there are armed Americans out there who may not want to disarm. DHS won’t want to send their people into those areas because they won’t come back. Drones offer a “clean solution” to the problem because we all know what a Hellfire Missile can do to a structure.
Murphy- Yep, and a good ‘lead’ program…
John- Concur!
Tim- Yep, you’re right!
Stretch- LOL
LL- And they will ‘apologize’ for any collateral damage…
You really trust any information from a dude that swears up and down that Newtown was a hoax, and that there are no dead children?!?
Time to set up anti aircraft
I’ll assume when they say civil they mean non governmental drones. Uncle will exempt himself.
Time to arm your RC aircraft and dogfight. Tally Ho!
Gerry
I’d say that this makes a pretty good reason for why the Second Amendment DOES protect FIM-92s.
Scott- No I don’t, but I’ve seen the same info from other sources also…
Rick- But do you have a ‘license’ for that???
Gerry- Of course!
Raptor- Good point, however ‘procurement’ may be an issue…
Drones, huh.
Internally, I’m okay with them patrolling the border, and that’s it.
JR- Concur, but for ‘safety’??? Especially since they’ve now widened the “border” area to 100nm inland from the borders???
They will keep pushing until there is a push back. All I’m going to say on that subject.

Have been practicing security of the no fly zone over the bunkhouse using a zong gun loaded with cow pies. 95% kills on clay pigeons… should work on drones…
I guess skynet will have its hunter-killer drones already in place when it takes over.
WSF- Yep!
Brighid- LOL, that’s gonna leave a ‘skid mark’ or two…
Mikael- Good point!
