Will assault weapons go the way of the musket once criminals acquire drones?

It is only a matter of time before criminals and wackos like this will be asking us to protect their right to carry unconcealed drones...

Massive Manhunt for Ex-Cop After 3 Officers Shot

The Violence of action will be HIGH. I am the reason TAC alert was established. I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty. ISR is my strength and your weakness. You will now live the life of the prey. Your RD’s and homes away from work will be my AO and battle space. I will utilize every tool within INT collections that I learned from NMITC in Dam Neck. You have misjudged a sleeping giant. There is no conventional threat assessment for me. JAM, New Ba’ath party, 1920 rev BGE, ACM, AAF, AQAP, AQIM and AQIZ have nothing on me. Do not deploy airships or gunships. SA-7 Manpads will be waiting. As you know I also own Barrett .50?s so your APC are defunct and futile.

They're called model airplanes. Now, the weapons that go with them are another story.
