I wonder how far we are from our first civilian armed drone murder. People protecting their pot grows, meth labs, and militia compounds are already working on this problem, I’m sure.
See, this is where the human tool-making mind fails… Present dealing death as an engineering problem, and some nerd will solve it just for fun. Because I’m looking at my Ruger LCP and thinking that somebody with a little bit of engineering and robotics skill could mount one to a large drone without much trouble. Stability while firing might be an issue, but if you get within 15’ of somebody that might not matter much.
