It seems like our advances in technology keep outpacing our current laws. Ever since Jeff Bezos announced that Amazon would be piloting a program to deliver packages via drones, it seems to have spurred people to use them in places never dreamed of.. some of these drones, with cameras attached, catch breathtaking sights only attained remotely via air (the beauty of Machu Piccu or for paparazzi trying to catch Ariana Grande sunbathing topless on a super yacht). However, a new use by a Connecticut teenager seems to be one of the most nefarious...
The young aspiring engineer built and tested a pistol gun mounted to a multi-rotor drone and showed it firing off several rounds on its own, with the trigger being pulled remotely. Although the father claims to have been in supervision mode, the son researched the project beforehand and could not find any laws that he could be breaking, hence, he continued with a live test.

I don't like furthering interest by adding the YouTube video to view, but maybe viewing it will outrage the masses enough to get our politicians and lawmakers involved to enact specific federal laws around drones, before a real live gun (or worse) drone catastrophe happens.
In these chaotic times, it seems like we need more aspiring inventors coming up with game changing ideas that will make our world a better place...and not ones that come up with bad ideas that inspire the troubled, crazy or evil with unlimited nefarious possibilities...
