The 12th floor sounds cool...do you have a good view? Is it quiet up there?

I used to live on the top floor of a building, but it was only 5 stories high...the fall leaves were gorgeous.

We need some privacy laws sooner rather than later. I can't climb up on my neighbor's balcony and peek into her window and film she's doing.....but......I can fly a tiny plane onto her balcony and film to heart's content???? Does that even make any sense?
Geez. "we would never be gun owners" , but sure would use an ax to committ a violent act. Funny.
You consider taking an ax to an inanimate object a "violent act"? Only an extreme pacifist would think that was violent, IMO.
I think firing a weapon would be more dangerous, since the bullet could end up far away and hit someone innocent.
I just think it ironic that someone who 'would never own a gun' presumably because 'guns kill' and are 'dangerous', would use another inanimate object like an ax, to so violently dispose of something that 'bothers' them. Just reinforces that guns don't kill, anymore than axes do, it's the people behind them and what they do with them.

You're stretching this mightily to make your point. againstg those who opt not to own firearms.

Many of us, probably most of us, who choose not to own firearms would do whatever it took to defend ourselves in our homes from a person or people trying to kill us. If that meant grabbing a bat or an axe, so be it.

Has nothing to do with the choice not to own or use weapons.

Oh wow, I just popped in to the last reply to see what was last written since my earlier reply. It seems like it's now a guns issue. The fact is whatever you use to defend yourself IS a weapon WHETHER it be a bat, knife, axe, a crossbow, or a gun. Each one of these items can be used for other things. It's not a question of choosing to own or not own weapons. We all own weapons! I'm just sayin!

We can even get looser with the definition of a "weapon" and include a chair, a book, my fist, etc.

They all have other uses. But what uses does a gun (and maybe a crossbow) have other than to injure or kill?

I'd be tempted to.

I think this whole drone thing is a huge invasion of privacy and personal space, however I find it a little disconcerting that many here are willing to discharge a firearm to take one out. surprise

I don't own a gun but I have no problem taking out the hose and spraying it to death.

I view the tiny drone the same way I view a helicopter flying over our home. I would wave. And of course I would watch it because I like flying objects.
