Drone banning..Will it happen?

[Max Headroom]

Would like to hear more on the status of ban on drones. Thinking about getting one for recreational use.

I don't think you are going to find any more information than has already been given in this thread i don't live in America but from what i have read i think its highly unlikely to ever happen.

Agreed, I think the federal government has done just about everything it can do at this point to and it's come down to only banning the DJI drone from use at federal agencies which has led to state agencies to do the same. At this point, the next step to achieve their goal is laws, rules, and restrictions to make the drone impossible to use. A defacto ban would consist of state and local government wrestling control over the airspace over their jurisdiction and then implementing restrictions related to privacy, critical infrastructure, and a blanket ban over public property accompanied by stiff criminal penalties consisting of felonies and jail time. It's easy, everything is critical infrastructure from a natural gas pipeline above ground to a school to an aluminum recycle plant to a post office to the trash dump even the auxiliary parking lot at an abandoned mall where excess city vehicles are stored over the winter. No consumer can possibly fly a drone anywhere if you must obtain prior written approval to fly within 150 meters of private property or else shooting down your drone is legal. That's all it takes, do these and we have a ban.
