Proliferation of small, weaponized drones is an extremely dangerous path to go down. What stops you from swapping out a taser for another small weapon? The development of the gun made it so that you could strike your enemy from a safer distance, but you'd still need to be within line of sight. A small, weaponized drone removes that last requirement. You could be miles away. I'm not saying that making them illegal will prevent someone with the right skills from building one on their own. Indeed, we will likely see the first high-profile assassination using a small weaponized drone in our lifetime. However, mass production of that technology would mean anyone can kill without risk. And that's a terrifying prospect.
