Considering how many law enforcement agencies are in love with acting the part of the military, don't be surprised to see more and more cities aquire these things.

Ooh, wait! Yet another chance to trot out this old line: "If you're not doing anything wrong, then you don't have anything to worry about."
Ah, there, it's been said.

I'm sure that if you happened to have a target range setup where you liked to exercise your Second Amendment rights, that would get you a little note in a file somewhere.

I've heard that the US Border Patrol wants to buy a fleet of Predator drones (without the armed capability, of course!) to monitor the entire US-Mexican border. At the cruising altitude of 10,000 feet those things are pretty quiet and very difficult to see.

So who's going to patent the first DIY Surface to Air Missile kit?

Some states are already monitoring the citizenry via air surveillance, to assure such things as compliance with environmental regulations and detection of marijuana farming.
This may seem innocent enough; however, when you think of the bullying and abuse inflicted upon average, law abiding citizens by draconian "environmental protection" laws and the bullies and morons who direct and enforce them, it becomes frightening and antithetical to freedom, the pursuit of happiness, and everything the United States stands for, and it renders the American people highly vulnerable to oppression, injustice, and abuse.

I have no doubt the border patrol will buy them, but an issue will be discovered which prevents their use on the Mexican - US border.

Border patrol is a great use. Just flying around watching the citizens and making them feel like subjects...used to be you were innocent until proven guilty, now I guess we can all eventually become suspects.

I wasn't talking about shooting them down, I was talking about certain places that would love to know if their citizens are armed or not (Maryland, Chicago, California, etc.), and having the ability to cover large areas and see what people are doing outdoors would give them that ability.
