I can envision drone fights in the air, drones cracking into each other.

I appreciate the action. I know it's controversial, but I can tell you the complaints are large and the distress is large.

I think if you just kept them out of residential areas and maybe with a waiver for police, that might solve the problem.

I know they wouldn't legally carry munitions. But there's nothing to stop someone from arming one with munitions, and that's my big concern.

Here's my concern. I understand that. So you could have thousands of these things in the air.

Well, I am very worried about two things. One is safety, and the other is privacy.

I think we have to look to what purposes can drones be legitimately used.

I have a real concern about drones being used commercially inside America.

The president is in the region, we're hearing now from officials that it's going to take a couple of days for them to determine whether or not a chemical weapon is used.

The two people we heard in Congress are greater among equals, let's say. It's the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Mike Rogers, and the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Dianne Feinstein.

And I think the probabilities are very high that we're going into some very dark times.

If these weapons were used we've crossed the threshold.

I think the probabilities are very high that we are going into some very dark times.

If these weapons were used, we have crossed the threshold.

I think the probabilities are very high that we're going into some very dark times. And I think the White House needs to be prepared.

The White House has to make some kind of decision on this.

Our job is vigorous oversight of the intelligence community. We cannot do that unless we see the legal underpinnings for certain kinds of activities.

I do not believe that is true.

The world that we are now living in is so different and so imprecise that the legal underpinnings for action really are important.

With a little bit of help from the people of America, we might even be able to pass that.

I believe that the American people are for, as a matter of public policy, saying that weapons designed for war do not belong on the streets of our cities.

We are all trying to figure out how best to be safe.

It is hard for me to understand how anybody can defend that, candidly.

I defend the Second Amendment. And I want to see that upheld and regulated, and it has not been.

Senator, you had one question?
