The political and ideological discussion in the USA about gun control laws and the 2nd Amendment has been a hot topic for decades. Usually, the topic remains in a glowing, hot-ember state. The heat and light emanating from this hot-ember pulses and intensifies when fanned by the news of mass murder involving guns. As drones become more prevalent in society, I fear the hot-embers of this age-old debate will fan into flames. While one must have a license to operate either machine, that legal requirement will not deter those with harmful intent.
Putting aside the political and ideological debates, how would soylentils implement a no-fly zone for drones - especially ones with harmful payloads or in areas containing volatile substances?

I personally want anybody who wants to carry/own/use a firearm to have a license. Similar to a drivers license.
That is, I want a firearm license to indicate the holder knows:
- which end is the business end
- how to store firearms/ munitions safely.
- how to carry them safely
- how to fire them without injuring themselves
- other firearms best practices.
- some reasonable belief the holder has mental facilities to understand the risks
There is risk associated with firearms. I want some assurance users of firearms know what it is they are using.
