You may laugh at the turtle-strike risk, but given that we all know the world is a disk supported on a large stack of turtles (the whole "spheroid ball floating in an infinite universe" thing having obviously been shown to be NASA propaganda to assure the funding they needed to fake the moon landings) any turtle collision could risk destabilising the stack and the ending of the world as we know it. Fox News would see this as almost as serious threat as democrats.

But more seriously - in a nation which has schoolyard massacres every other month due to it's refusal to properly address its fire-arms fetish, spending time and money regulating the yet-to-materialise potential threat posed by "drones" is clearly populist twaddle. More of the general public have been killed or injured by light aircraft than by "drones", so clearly the first step should be to ban general aviation.

You know it makes sense.
