Not quite sure if #xjet is making a really good point or a stupid one…
"FPV drones are used by the military, but so are boots!"

yeah… but boot's aren't really used as a weapon?
I do understand why selling to the military is profitable, so I clearly get why companies do that - but building bombs and guns is too? And yes, there might be some market building stuff for skeet shooting, but that doesn't make it right if your company builds 99% stuff for war and 1% sports stuff?
If the company just builds regular stuff and some of that is used for war? sure.
But if the company starts to develop weapon stuff, because that's more profitable? I can find fault there!

"Not a single person EVER has died due to recreational use of drones. This is one of the safest hobbies."

he's right (although there might be lots of pilots hurt somewhat)
Worldwide regislation against drones is ridiculous.
