US Drone Regulations and Concerns

I am starting this group to discuss and consider the repercussions regulations may have on future drone activity and what we as a community should be doing or if we should be making any effort to effect these changes. As we look maturely and responsibly at our future. This discussion is NOT intended to be a discussion about commercial drones but for hobby drones like the ones most of us build here at DIY Drones
