I bought something but the drone got shot down 20feet from the factory by some snipers camping..... right, next idea.....

Actually it was probably the guided missile destroyer I have patrolling my garden pond for exactly this sort of unmanned drone illegally entering my airspace.

I claim the salvage too, have on display in my personal 'war musuem'

Ahhhh...the spoils

Me looking at my dusty sniper rifle standing in corner with glee thinking... soon we will have some very profitable hunting action to master!

Came in here to point out that people will be doing this very thing and selling the drones for scrap parts. It's a good idea but not for this world.

And now you have the NSA looking at you, while you look at your sniper rifle.

Would never happen, Amazon would have to employ FAA certificated pilots, that alone is enough to stop it dead in its tracks since somebody with a private pilots licence is not allowed to fly for compensation i.e. profit which means you would need somebody with a commercial licence or higher which means paying huge sums of money.

They would have to probably observe FAR 91 rules pertaining to minimum heights such as the 500ft minimum from the surface and atleast 1000ft above the tallest building within a densely populated city.

There is a guy called Trappy who got fined by the FAA for using basically a model aircraft and because he was getting paid the FAA are treating it like an unmanned drone rather than a foam model aircraft with a camera on to which it is.

Yeah, government ruining great ideas, nothing new there. If it wasn't for them, we'd probably have more fuel efficient cars too.

It's called lobbying to change the law.
