Is it really hard to fathom why many people despise the US?

Couldn't make it up! Seems the US is going to require consumers who buy drones to register on a national database. But not guns...

The guns are not causing near misses with airliners.

People in the US have been fitting guns to drones.

I can see the action movie final scene now!

The cops are closing in on the good guys compound and send up a drone to reconnoiter when up over the barricades rises a much larger good guy drone sporting the worlds smallest mini Gatling gun. An aerial duel ends with the bad cop drone shot to pieces followed by the good drone shooting up a line of police vehicles and freeing the beautiful half dressed heroine that had been captured etc. by the villain in the previous scene.
Should be a box office smash.

An inner city Gang banger removes some of his genes from the gene pool?
Again the majority of the country does not care if the fools kill each other and their children. Good riddance.

As someone who has adopted two little girls whose original parents would fit the UK equivalent of multi-generational 'trailer trash' and who is currently struggling to cope with the resultant emotional scars and epigenetic changes as they hit puberty, I find that remark as offensive is you found my last remark on grunts.

It's a moral bankruptcy that sounds strange to our ears.

Even worse, very recent research suggests, if I recall correctly, that some epigenetic scars do actually get passed on. Though, they are very limited in scope and seem to fade out of the genome within a relatively few generations so long as further environmental push factors do not continue to be in place. Thus, it seems, if only to at least to a very limited extent and for a limited period of time, a form of Lamarkism does exist.

Glad that you can see the funny side (assuming thats a joke!). I'm sure you'd support a similar gun register.

It is comical how the US is putting tighter legislation on drones that don't kill thousands of Americas each year than guns that do.

This one is almost funny. But actually it's tragic.

Meanwhile at the Bonn climate conference today it looks like 134 countries have not been liking the American co-chair.
