    Because the oceans suddenly woke up and decided to start absorbing heat in 1998.

    Never mind the fact that devices that are absolutely essential are incredibly expensive.

    Making stuff that has to work 100% the time costs lots of money.

    What is a Smart Gun?

    It's a gun that will fire every single time you need it to fire. Which currently disqualifies the current "smart gun" technology.

    Finger prints? Don't work on your car or paint the living room.
    Special ring? So much for swimming, showering, or any other activity you don't want to expose electronic to.

    One thing you can count on computers for. They will never work correctly 100% of the time when you really need them to.

    The 2014 Federal budget was $3.506 trillion.

    Umm...What someone feels is right and wrong is judged all the time, via the law.

    Just because you think it's the right thing to do doesn't make it Right. Society has implemented a system for judging Right vs Wrong and we all have a voice in that system. If people can have their own definition Right, then you have anarchy. Suddenly, my right to swing my fist doesn't end at the tip of your nose, but at the back of your head...simply because I say so.

    So if I owned property within 30 miles, I can't fly my little RC plane or Quadcopter in my backyard?

    Because....why? And how does doing that affect you or anyone else?

    From TFA

    "So, anyone who flies drones or RC airplanes or anything within 30 miles of DC is now officially grounded," said hobbyist Cyrus Phillips.. "That came out on Christmas Day."

    He said the notice effectively closes the Capital Area Soaring Association and all other hobbyist parks within 30-miles.

    In this particular case, at this particular time, and IF your local law makers are worse Control Freaks than the feds, it's a good thing. Because you can tell them to shove it, federal supersedes them.
