Actually, I'm pleased that the discourse here is relatively civil. (As opposed to, say, comments on YouTube which often devolve into vulgar flamefests.) It could be better, but all in all much better than it might be considering the subject matter.
And it has been at least somewhat constructive. It has certainly allowed me to consider some points of view other than my own, and learn a bit about drone regulations and LEO practices in other states.
It hasnt been bad but gun debates seem to be as contentious as abortion.....and follow similar lines to any type of Ferrari/Porsche, Mac/PC, Dog/cat kind of discussion where it's a kind of 'I'm right, you're an idiot' but pushed to the Nth.
