FAA Moves Toward Treating Drones and Planes as Equals

This is a bad example.

825,000 drones were sold in the U.S. in 2016 alone.

If you had 825,000 developers, who on many days did commits and didn't have any real issues, you may think differently.

I again, am pro regulation, but this is a _terrible_ argument.

Citation needed. If you want better arguments, you merely need read the rest of this thread. I wasn't arguing pro regulation. I was arguing how silly it sounds when someone calls this a move to "criminalize competition."

i'd say it's a pretty reasonable inference from the article, which mentions two interested parties: the The Commercial Drone Alliance (commercial advocate), which supports the repeal, and the Academy of Model Aeronautics (hobbyist organization), which opposes it. now why is it that these two orgs which are both interested in drones have such different stances?
