Title: Trump signs registration law
Post by: zahc on December 13, 2017, 07:35:35 AM: http://thehill.com/policy/transportation/364523-trump-signs-law-forcing-toy-drone-users-to-register-with-govt

What happened to reducing regulations? I sure hope two other federal licensing requirements were repealed in order to pass this.

The arguments in favor of this are too close to those for gun registration, IMO.

This is probably accurate. I doubt all those folks buying drones at Brookstone are submitting paperwork.

Note to .Gov snoopers: My RC Millennium Falcon was lost in a tragic boating accident last summer.

Not to defend Trump, but I doubt the President even knew that language was added to the bill.

I suspect he got a rundown of what was in the bill but there wasn't anything big enough to justify going to the mat about getting removed. I doubt I'd have held up that bill over drone registration either.
