>I'm a citizen of one of the states you mention and I can assure you: amidst all the disagreement and political polarization, there is complete consensus on not wanting a world dominated by killer robots. If what people "want" is a nice sounding sentence slapped on a roiling pile of inconsistent sub-wants, then good things aren't going to happen. Sure, nobody wants "a world dominated by killer robots". Nobody wants "90% civilian casualties" from those killer robots either. But if people are asked "would you rather Bob down the street get killed fighting in X or let a drone take the risks", what are they going to say? Yes, screw Bob? And that's assuming that the person asked isn't going to be drafted because there are enough volunteers. If people are asked, "would you rather use drones and kill civilians, or use other methods and kill many more civilians", what are they going to say? Yes, more is better?
