Well I wasn't going to go there but yes, this is exactly the point. Here in
Modern America, we now have two kinds of "Gun Free" Zones, those like in Schools where the law itself is known but not enforced and then; the ones like at the White House where, there is an active measure to make it so. My point is people that are going to do ill or harm will do so irregardless of a law. Murder is against the law - why does it not work?
True story - 16 years ago, back when I was very active in RC I was a a large jet meet held at an active airport in Lakeland Florida, at the very airport where they hold Sun N Fun. At the event there were six active pilot stations and RC aircraft were flying continuously throughout the day (The runway we were on was closed to GA). I was flying a turbine powered jet aircraft that had a top speed of around 185 and a fuel load (Over a Gallon) of about 25 minutes, and a take off weight of 48 pounds, seven feet long with a wingspan of six feet - pretty typical. I got my channel clearance, was fueled and me and my spotter prepped the plane and started the engine and just before taxi-ing out to the active, the contest director came on and announced the airport was landing an aircraft on an adjacent runway to ours and that all RC aircraft would have to land and hold for about four minutes. No Problem, I attached the ground fuel tank to the aircraft and left it at idle rather than go thru shut down and a cooling cycle then another start - it was simpler to run for four minutes, top off and then fly.
To our astonishment we were later told that the aircraft that was landing was carrying a VIP as she was giving a speech nearby. The plane landed and disembarked the passengers within clear sight of us about 1200 feet away.
Here is a picture of what landed a stones through away from an active RC event.
Just saying.
