Drone carrying 11 guns found stuck in tree near Canada-U.S. border along St. Clair River

According to THIS ARTICLE, a drone of this kind runs around $20,000. That’s a lot. But the payload is 11 handguns… purchased in the US for perhaps $200 each, sold in Canada for up to $3000 each, the profit would be about $30,800 per run: you could simply throw the drone away each time in still rake in substantial cash profit. Fly it two or three times – a job of a few hours – and you’ve got yourself a decent yearly salary right there.

Illegal? Sure. Wrong? Ummm… Given what current Canadian dictator Justin Trudeau has said about Canadians not having the right to defend themselves, delivering them the *means* of self defense is not wrong. Sadly, of course, these gun are highly unlikely to be going to average Canadians, but more likely gang members, “migrants” and other members of the criminal element… but the potential still stands for simple robotics to be useful for delivering the means of self defense to regular people. Further afield, drone deliveries could be used to drop off ammo (bullets, grenades, rockets, etc.) to Ukrainian defense forces. There, of course, care would have to be taken to make sure that that drone delivering weapons to you won’t be using those weapons *on* you. Similarly, the use of drones along the US-Canadian border would have to be done with care; I would not be surprised if authoritarian, anti-human-rights types like “Fang Fang Swalwell” wouldn’t sabotage the effort by swapping out good guns for compromised weapons, or even weapons that have poison or polonium dusted onto them.
