You don’t need to tell a minor to go jump off a pier just to prove a point.

Sorry, didn’t know your age. Just pointing out that the person you’re blaming is actually a Republican.

Looks like if they can’t pass a law, they’re doing a backdoor ban with regulations. This needs to stop.

Thanks, liberals…

As a fiscal conservative, I don’t see the GOP doing anything for the average person. It’s all self-interest at this point.

Guess I’ll start buying DJI drones from Canada. There’s a store near the Washington border.

Keep in mind that Customs can still stop products coming from Canada.

True, but I haven’t had any issues crossing the border yet.

Hide it in a 55-gallon drum of maple syrup. Customs will never suspect a thing.

Just scratch off the ‘I’ and replace it with ‘EH’… now it’s Canadian!

Why not fly it across the border?

Which store? How much are the drones?

It’s Best Buy, but I don’t think they sell the model you’re looking for.

My DJI Neo is shipping from China today. I’ll be mad if it gets stopped.

Let us know if it gets held up.

From what I’ve seen, individual orders are getting through, but larger shipments are being delayed.

@Wade
Actually, some residential orders are being held up too.

I just got an Air 3 a few days ago. I understand safety regulations, but this is ridiculous. What data could they get from consumer drones that they couldn’t already get by other means?

The ban isn’t really about security. It’s more about market control.

Kind of confusing, since DJI pretty much created the consumer drone market.

That’s exactly the problem. DJI has such a big share that it’s hard for any competitors to survive.
