“Those rules are in place and that would prohibit weapons from being installed on a civil aircraft”

What if its not a ‘civil’ aircraft?

"..prohibit weapons from being installed on a civil aircraft..."

Then shedding the weapon would make the craft legal.

Plus the gov't is not all that civil these days.

THIS IS A LIE.

Jim Williams, as a ‘senior official at the FAA’ certainly knows the term ‘MARSA’.

So do I.

Key word: Armed.

It’s interesting that he qualified it.

One little executive order from the king will put the kill list out on anyone who loves God and guns. Law or procedures be damned. He gets his jollies on breaking the law because no one has the guts to put him down.

Also, could an unarmed drone not paint a target with a laser?

Someone needs to inform the DOT since they consider law enforcement aircraft ‘public’, not private aircraft.

Doesn’t Diane Feinstein count as an armed drone?

“...despite the fear and paranoia of some...”

Lets see, in the style of some sort of futuristic drama, our government (local sheriffs, local police, federal agencies of all stripes) are accumulating an exponentially growing arsenal of unmanned aerial vehicles...

...They are currently using them to spy on Americans and ensure they COMPLY with federal regulations on farms...

...we know that these drones are currently being used throughout the world to commit assassinations...

....we learned last week that at least one of these assassinations was deliberately carrid out against an American (born in Denver), with absolutely no due process...

...and we’re paranoid!?!? to imagine that the fleet of drones flying above could easily be armed? And used against US citizens?

Sure, we’re the crazy ones.

“No armed drones in US”

Hahahaha, that’s a real funny! A big knee slapper! What a corker that Jim Williams fellow is.

Correct me if wrong, but it is my understanding the executive orders are only applicable to rules and regulations coming from departments under the executive branch. The FAA is certainly one of those. like the EPA, ATF, right?

So, the stroke of Obunga's pen can change the rules about armed civil aircraft whenever he feels like it.

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,”

And our dear leader just loves to follow the rules like the Constitution.

Jim Williams needs to stand his ground. This is still a free country and if we all stand up to the thugs and monsters it'll stay that way. In spite of creepy horrible liberals this is NOT a country that kills it's own citizens from un-manned airplanes.
