Let’s bring drones back to America so they can help us
To the Editor:
I like drones, and it's not just because President Obama does, too. I think drones save a lot of lives. Obama needs to bring the drones home to keep us safe. Why should some other country get to feel secure with our drones? There are terrorists and gun owners around here that we need to keep track of, which is what drones do, so let's bring our drones home and use them.
Drones can keep track of school shooters before they snap, watch for dangerous people, and take care of things before they get out of hand. There's no sense letting bad people get away with things.
We can also use drones to keep our roads safe from deer.
We need drones; let's bring them home.

Good call... we can even extend deer hunting season a week for "drone season". I would be the first to sign up for the drone highway deer control job. How much fun would that be...
