Drones may render the Second Amendment obsolete.



And without the Second Amendment, the entire Bill of Rights is ultimately toothless.

The countervailing force is that drones dramatically lower the cost to assassinating heads of state.



Which is why politicians won’t allows drones to fall under the Second Amendment, with terrorism and crime as the pretext.
