Earlier this year, April 14, Barack Obama signed HR658 – FAA Reauthorization and Reform Act of 2012, which effectively set forth that the United States will have 30,000 drones in the air by 2020. Of course, one has to wonder where the money is coming from for this. Oh that’s right, taxpayers. Now, Charles Krauthammer has joined the dissenting voices.<br /> <br />Syndicated columnist Krauthammer took off in his interview with Fox News’ Brett Baier, “I’m going to go hard left on you here, I’m going ACLU. I don’t want regulations, I don’t want restrictions, I want a ban on this. Drones are instruments of war. The Founders had a great aversion to any instruments of war, the use of the military inside even the United States. It didn’t like standing armies, it has all kinds of statutes of using the army in the country.”<br /> <br />He continued, “I would say that you ban it under all circumstances and I would predict, I’m not encouraging, but I an predicting that the first guy who uses a Second Amendment weapon to bring a drone down that’s been hovering over his house is going to be a folk hero in this country.”</p>
