I've never understood how simply registering drones make them safer, just like guns.

Waiting for Hawaii to propose a bill to require "drone insurance," so they can protect the public from all the damage the lawmakers imagine drones will do.

I have to have insurance to fly my model airplanes at the field in Kailua.  $58./year  In case you crash into someone or someones house/car.

The problem with drones is that were first sold as toys and people started doing stupid sh!t, so then came the regulations.  It's always a few that ruin it for the rest of us.  ???

But I agree, registration doesn't make them safer, just like requiring mopeds to get license and safety doesn't make them safer.
