The article requires a subscription to read, but I can guess what it proposes.
The reason to register drones is because it is only a matter of time before someone crashes one into an airplane or seriously injures someone on the ground. The drone will be damaged and recovered by the authorities. The only way to identify the culprit would be through registration.
Guns on the other hand are seldom left behind, and when used for criminal purposes are most likely stolen anyway.
The purpose of gun registration is not to solve crimes, but to identify gun owners when the government decides to confiscate our guns.
Furthermore, guns are covered by the second amendment. There is no such right to fly drones in public air space. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
