Well, there are drones and there are drones. Currently the use of the term term "drone" is to identify something like the predator drone which is a robotic aircraft equipped with weapons that can be used for assassination. The use of other drone aircraft for a variety of purposes (including warfare) goes back a great many decades, to before WWI., and civilian drones have been used for a very long time. What exactly are you referring to when you talk about banning drones? As far as protesting their use...that horse left the barn probably before you were born. In any case, a drone is just a tool. It can be used for good or nefarious purposes. It makes no sense to ban a tool when other tools can easily take its place. That's like fighting a symptom rather than a disease.
