    Are weaponized drones covered under the 2nd Amendment?

    Can I legally strap a gun to a remote control helicopter?

    Actually, you can.

    Pipe bombs are illegal, but people do make them quite often. Attach to one of those RC helicopters and you're good to go.

    All weapons are protected by The Second Amendment. If it exists, The Second Amendment gives you the right to own it and carry it, without infringement of any kind, including background checks or registration.

    Boehner supports drone strikes agains U.S. citizens

    So, let me see if I understand the rationale of the Conservative mind.

    Waterboarding = good
    Murdering potentially innocent American citizens = even better

    What a country! Conservatives are whiny hypocrites for the most part. It is all about Team RED for them.

    Reporters on TV do not give a shit.

    Republicans are hypocritical on spending, not their violent/obnoxious patriotism. They've always been consistent on that so your parody doesn't make sense.

    Liberals are whiny hypocrites, TV reporters are liberal so they earned that label.

    In principle, I have no problem with taking out a terrorist before he can act. The police often kill people who are in the act of committing a crime.

    The "act" is nebulous overseas when the guy in question is thought to be a conspirator of some sort and is taken out by a drone while eating dinner with his family. It isn't nebulous when our soldiers are on patrol, return fire, and an american taliban is killed.

    The targeting of enemy leaders is actually a radical departure from precedent. I mean it's been done, but not as a matter of policy.

    No even that is wrong, if it can be proven later that they hit an innocent person. The police blow as well.

    I am disappointed in the Obama administration. I am happy Ron Wyden is doing something though.
