Not everybody was equally alarmed by the Ghost prototype. University of Pennsylvania professor of political science Michael Horowitz, another expert on autonomous weapon systems, told us that he saw the robodog as similar to the type of armed drone already used by numerous international militaries. Given that the system is controlled by humans, and other countries have developed armed, remotely-piloted robotic ground systems, I am not sure this system raises any new ethical questions beyond those raised by any remotely-piloted system, whether in the air or on the ground,” Horowitz said. “But I would need to know more about system details to be sure.”
Florida already has a law saying you can't put a gun on a quadcopter. YOU can't. THEY can.
People who push "all bearable arms" for the 2a because they want a select fire rifle need to shut up. The future isn't a select fire rifle and the 2a protects more than (but also obviously) bearable arms.
The future is a quadcopter delivering a shaped charge to a tyrant's armored vehicle, like a fancy molotov cocktail. Of course the countermeasures will be spectacular. So it will be funny to fly a $30 toy between the tank and its own troops. And there will be a response to that. And so on.

As if there was anyone who didn't know this was always the plan for these robots.

Of fucking course.
