2. I'll bet mystery writers everywhere are kicking themselves for not thinking

Teen Builds Flying Drone That Can Fire a Handgun, This Video Shows it In-Action

Austin H., a teenager from Clinton, Connecticut, has built a flying drone capable of firing a handgun. In the video demonstration, we see that the drone is knocked back some distance each time the gun is fired, but remains stable enough to discharge a bullet once every three seconds. The video description states: "Homemade multi-rotor with a semiautomatic handgun mounted on it. The length from the muzzle to the rear of the frame is over 26in."

4. Does anyone want to hazard a guess

As to which of our fine members of Congress who knows nothing about drones and/or guns will be first out of the gate with a poorly thought out bill to address this completely unforeseeable-but-still-inevitable technological development?

CLINTON, CT (WFSB) -

A video has surfaced showing a gun-firing drone that has sparked a federal investigation.

Police said the video was posted by a teenager in Clinton and now three agencies are investigating trying to determine if the teen also built the contraption.

This type of armed technology is usually reserved for military operations.

The 14 second YouTube video has gone viral and shows a drone firing off four gunshots with no finger pulling a trigger.
