How soon will drones be used to take out street gang leaders/members now that it is legal, ethical, and wise?

Question

During Martin Luther King's day and the period of the Black Panther Party, had drones been available then, would the same justification been used to use them against them?

Of course we think it would have been judged  as justified just like it has been justified today and will be justified to blow illegals off the road before they can take American resources away from citizens and used to take drug dealers off the streets before they can hook our kids on their substances.

Yes we think there is a great potential for such a deterrent against crimes against society.  Very effective indeed.  After all, all those drone pilots trained by our military need jobs when they get out and how economical is it to hire an already trained employee.  It is the same as being able to hire a police or news helicopter pilot who had been trained as a pilot in the military.  Will gun owners be targeted legally, ethically, and wisely when it is determined with the drones aloft there will no longer be a need for the 2nd Amendment self-defense excuse because criminals will no longer be a problem in our society.

You know those constitutionally protected rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness? Apparently the White House has some pretty loose rules on how to take those away without due process. But don’t worry, the White House has promised the drone strikes are wise and ethical. Glenn wasn’t so sure and reacted to the story on radio this morning.

“This is so much worse than wiretaps,” Glenn said. “I don’t want the President of the United States to fly a drone over and kill us.  You know, let’s just say this: If the President of the United States says that they can fly a drone over anywhere, and fly it, because the President deems that this person is trouble – can China fly a drone over the United States and kill somebody here in the United States that they say is a danger? ”

Why is it that so many Americans (yes it appears to be particularly an American trait) will take some specific, exceptional case and generalize it to create a scenario that no-one but the most paranoid (or Fox news anchor) would ever believe.  USA, home of the conspiracy theory.  Must be something in the water.

The exceptional case of a known US Islamist terrorist operating overseas is somehow extrapolated to common criminals in the US.  

A rational effort to address gun related homicide through minor changes to gun laws is a threat to confiscate all guns in the US

The President has a "foreign" name so he must be a Muslim, Kenyan, Socialist.

Yes eventually, and actually currently are being used for land surveying. I think for the most part will be used as a non lethal instrument. Collecting data from routers and modems, surveillance, land surveying, sky traffic info, agriculture, and for police use.

Sorry, ain't gonna happen.

Logic and rationality prevents me from making that leap of delusion.

You're being as hysterical as an anti-gun liberal.

I don't see it as a big leap from being allowed to kill Americans overseas to being allowed to kill them here.  there really isn't much of a difference
