    All drones in the USA must be registered -- FAA

    You must register your drone soon ...

    Federal regulators said Monday that they will require recreational drone users to register their aircraft with the government for the first time in an attempt to track rogue flying robots that are increasingly posing a threat to aviation safety.

    The decision to compel drone owners to register their aircraft represents a policy shift by the Obama administration and a tacit admission by the Federal Aviation Administration that it has been unable to safely integrate the popular remote-controlled planes into the national airspace.

          I actually think it's a good idea. This isn't for your sons $90 star wars toy drone that can fly 200 feet. This is for the drones that can fly a mile or more away from the person flying it

          Parrot BeBop Drone and Sky Controller Bundle - Walmart.com
          This can fly 2 KM (over 6,000ft)

          Air Hogs Star Wars Remote Control Millennium Falcon - Walmart.com
          this can fly 200 feet

          You don't need to register your bicycle but you do have to register your motorcycle that is anything over 50CCs.

          Model airplanes have been around for years and never posed the threat that these do, why? Mainly because a model airplane you have to be able to see it with your own eyes to control it. Drones have cameras and can go far away. The article said they thought there would be 700,000 drones sold in 2015. That's insane.

                  guns are supposed to be registered, go try and buy one. The only loophole is that damn gunshow where you can walk in and hand cash and buy a gun. I had a walther p99 a long time ago just wnated to get rid of it and walked into a gun show with it on my belt (unloaded, they do check). Guys said how much? I said 400 done deal, he handed me cash I gave him a practically new gun. Sad how they can't close that stupid rule.

                  So they gonna make me register my rolling spider too? LOL

                          I doubt it's about how high it can go but it can go that far from the person controlling it according to wally world.. But the law says you can't fly over 400ft and i'm sure that can

                              The problem with selling your hangun (or any other weapon) 'under the table' like that is that the firearm is still registered in your name. If that weapon is involved in a crime whose door will the police be at first?

                                              Someone here in town got a serious drone that flew up and took some great pictures of the area that looked like they were from an airplane. However, they forgot all about our little local airport and got into huge trouble last week.

                                                  yup we have one of those small airports and 5 miles is a very big range

                                                  Under FAA guidelines, drone owners are not supposed fly their aircraft above 400 feet or within five miles of an airport without permission

                                                      My neighborhood almost burned down last year because asshats were using their drones to cash in on fire pictures. They wouldn't let the water dropping helicopters do their jobs

                                                          When I heard they had to stop waterdrop planes during one of the westcoast fires because of all the drones flying in the area, I figured it wouldn't be long before gov't starts to crack down and make them registered.

                                                          All it takes is a few irresponsible idiots to ruin it for everyone.
