Wes, while I don't disagree with you that this type of remote robotic control via the internet could be used for evil purposes... outlawing it would have about as much effect as outlawing cars because some cars have been used to run some people over...
There simply wouldn't be any way to enforce it.
Controling the actions of a robotic device via the internet? The internet isn't even necessary... it is just convenient. This same service could just as easily be done via direct dial-in to the location via cell phone modem while driving.
What I don't understand is why they would bother using a device like a real firearm that would have to be serviced, loaded and cleaned, when the whole thing could be realistically simulated with computers...
As far as the remote hunting thing goes... I'll bet a simulation that was so real you wouldn't be able to tell that it wasn't real over the internet using a browser... and the "game" meat they send you could be from roadkills (with apologies to Glenn in Hunstville) for all the user would know...
I don't think this will be more than a passing fad... I can't see it becoming a profitable venture for very long.
Just my
