While local enforcement of Federal law is interesting, it seems to be far from the topic at hand.
Personally, I think the FAA was smart to bring together a consortium of industry representatives to decide the path for registration. And the AMA was foolish to be the lone dissenter. They are now at odds with the entire industry. And I doubt all of their members are agreed on the matter. The AMA looks like it is stuck in an older age of RC modeling while the rest of the world moves forward.
I know not everyone agrees with registration, but at the end of the day, no one has provided any tangible or realistic reason to avoid it other than as a means of protest on principle. The risk of not registering seems far worse than the risk of registering. I think those in opposition would be better off complying and finding other means to express their grievances.
