Fear Not The Drone Apocalpyse

When the apocalypse comes, it won't do so on four rotors. Drones, especially drones-as-we-know-them--the affordable, commercially available quadcopters--are only really engines of their own destruction. Zoltan Istvan, transhumanist candidate for President, wrote today that the American constitution is unprepared for the challenges of swarming robots. With all due I respect, I couldn't possibly disagree more. "The Second Amendment Isn't Prepared for a 3D-Printed Drone Army", Istvan argues, and vividly sets a scene of total despair: Imagine this: A disgruntled citizen borrows 30,000 from his credit cards.
